About 2 HOs!
(dirty, clean AND funny!)
An HO5 is an all perils policy and the HO3 is a named perils policy. So I don't see any reason why it should at all be ho3 vs ho5 !! |

tcope...that was great! Humor marks the intelligence of a man said Mark Twain!
Don't forget that an HO3 is the Special Form that provides open peril coverage on the structure(s) and named perils coverage on the unscheduled personal property.
The HO5 typically just changes the coverage on contents to open perils, adds some extra coverage to the Special Limits on Personal Property portion of Coverage C and Hanan's comment was good info.

The Homeowners-3 (HO-3) or Special Form Policy is the most widely used policy by homeowners writers today. It is becoming the standard homeowners policy and many lending institutions recommend buying it. This policy covers your home for all risks of physical loss, except those that are specifically excluded, such as flood, earthquake, war, nuclear accident, etc. Check your policy for a complete listing of the excluded perils. Coverage for loss of your home’s contents is also covered for many of the same perils for which your home is covered.
The Homeowners-5 (HO-5) policy or Comprehensive Form Policy protects your home against the same perils as the HO-3 policy. In addition, your personal possessions would also be covered for all risks of physical loss, except those risks that are specifically excluded. This extra protection may also be provided by purchasing a HO-3 policy with the “Special Personal Property” endorsement.
i think you now got what ho3 vs ho5 actually is .
Shadowking...we need to have a talk...while the information you supplied is correct...it was copy and pasted from the dept of ins website for NY (see link...and it's verbatim !!!!!!!!!!!)
http://www.ins.state.ny.us/homeown/html/hmchosng.htm
If you are going to source another do so with the link to the page, or advise in your post that this is where you found the information...do NOT post it, like it came from you or your own brain, when it did not. When you don't source where the information came from it appears bad on a couple of levels...first it's plagiarism pure and simply...secondly it is against the TOU of this site ie:

I assume this was a mistake, and that's all it was...(this time )...please be more cautious and NEVER copy and paste anything without sourcing where it came from..thank you for your cooperation in advance, please don't hesitate to send me a pm if you have any additional questions.....lori |

Hey Guest,
Welcome to our forums!
As you see a lot of it would depend on your needs actually.
Do you own a multi-family home?
Do you rent your home?

Carolyn, We'd have no idea of a premium amount...you'll need to contact an agent...I can't imagine that an HO5 wouldn't be available in your state.

|

My home burned completely, even most of the metal, and I had a friend whose tools were in my house as he was building a shower and cabinets for me, for hire. He does this as a side job and has no insurance coverage. Will my insurance policy cover his loss under liability coverage, contents coverage, or anywhere? The fire was not due to arson or an act of God. 90% chance it was electrical in origins according to the adjuster. I have an HO 5 Policy. Also, they are not offering replacement costs, which I thought were standard for HO 5 Policies.

Sounds exactly like the post of an unlicensed cabinet maker, jrhillsboro, who was nearly done with the job when the homeowners went out of town and their home was destroyed along with their friend's tools due to an electrical fire.
While the damages to your home are going to be covered under your HO-5 policy, the tools of the contractor are not, because their damage/destruction was not due to your negligence . . . unless it can be proved that the electrical fire was the result of some appliance or implement that was left plugged in, like a curling iron or a space heater. Then there would be a remote possibility that the insurance company might cover the tools.
Too bad the tools were not yours, because your tools, used to maintain your property, just like cans of wall paint stored in the garage, are covered. Is there any possibility that your friend was using YOUR TOOLS to do the work you needed done? Just a question.

Do you still own the property or does someone else now own the property?
If someone else is now the owner of the property, you have no insurable interest and cannot lawfully insure it.
On the other hand, if you are acting as the "lender", that is a different story. Your insurable interest is the unpaid loan balance. That may be insured.

I am an insurance professional and I stumbled across this posting. Some of the perils, e.g., Water damage, Power Interuption, and Ordinance of law are all covered perils under a HO-3 policy. It's pretty scary how many uneducated insurance professionals there are out there.  I am glad I don't employ people like Sil who doesn't have a clue about insurance.
