Priced on what the building costs to rebuild, which is the only figure a policy responds to, and never on the $307,000 asking price. The second half is the part a premium calculator never mentions: the wiring, the heating and the roof decide whether a policy can be written at all, and no policy means no mortgage advance.
214 - 1099 Cadboro Road, Cyrville - Carson Grove - Pineview, ON
Condo Apt, about 31-50 in Cyrville - Carson Grove - Pineview, insured as condo unit owner policy
Every field here is a question on an insurance application. The bedroom count is not one of them, so it is not here. The heating fuel, the roof material and the water source are, because each of the three can move a premium or end an application.
A homeowner policy insures the cost of putting the building back, not the price you paid for the property. Every figure further down this page is a fraction of the rebuild cost, and none of it is a fraction of the purchase price.
$361 per square foot, land included.
$170 per square foot on 850 square feet, structure only.
$162,500 of the price, about 53%, is not insured by a homeowner policy because the corporation's master policy rebuilds the building and your form covers betterments, contents and loss assessment. Insuring the purchase price would be paying a premium on a structure you do not own.
$165 to $673per year
About $35 a month, which is the figure to add to a mortgage payment and property tax rather than the annual one.
A modelled range from the property's own facts, not a quote. Only a licensed broker or insurer can quote, and only an insurer can decline.
Each line is a range, because the same house is priced differently by different carriers on the same facts. Lines marked as your choice move when you change the controls below.
0.18% to 0.40% of a rebuild cost of $102,000 to $187,000. Priced on what it costs to put the building back, not on the $307,000 purchase price.
Against the $1,000 the rate table is built on. The saving is annual and the deductible is per claim, so compare the two before moving it up.
These lines add to$165 to $673 per year
Each of these is a question on a real application. Changing one recalculates the range on the server, so what you see here is what a broker would be quoting against. The deductible, the liability limit and replacement cost are the three a buyer is asked to decide, and they are the three here.
What is being insured, which decides the base rate.
You pay the first $2,500 of every claim. $500 through $10,000 is the whole range this app models. A higher one lowers the premium every year and costs you once per claim.
$1M, $2M and $5M are the three limits this app models, and it prices the second and third as the first plus a charge per additional million. Ask your broker what the limits and the per-million charge actually are.
Not available on this form. There is no dwelling limit on a unit owner's form to remove the ceiling from. The corporation's master policy insures the building, and the equivalent question for a unit owner is whether the improvements limit is high enough.
Past 15 years the premium carries roughly 18 per cent more, and past 20 roughly a third more where a carrier will write it at all. No listing records this, so the seller's disclosure or an inspection report is where the answer lives. Leave it blank and the estimate keeps saying the age is unknown.
Turn this off if there has been one. It raises every real quote, and it is on the application either way.
The largest legitimate discount available, and it applies to the whole premium.
Central station monitoring, or a shutoff sensor. Both have to be declared to count.
Two policies with the same premium can pay a twenty year old roof very differently, and the difference is one phrase in the wording rather than anything on the quote. It is the cheapest thing on this page to get right and the most expensive to discover after a loss.
The claim pays what it costs to put the same thing back at today's prices, with no deduction for how old it was. A twenty year old roof is paid as a new roof, less the deductible.
The claim pays what the thing was worth the day it was destroyed: replacement cost less depreciation for its age and wear. A twenty year old roof is paid as a twenty year old roof, and the difference between that and a new one is the owner's to fund.
Every figure on this page is priced as if the dwelling settles at replacement cost, because that is the basis this build prices on. No policy wording has been read here, so it is an assumption about a policy nobody has issued rather than a fact, and the conditions below are the ones that turn it into a depreciated payout.
One of these is in range on this property. 3 cannot be answered from a listing, and each of those is a question rather than a risk. The ones that do not apply are still listed, because a reader who cannot see what was checked cannot tell the difference between a clean record and a short list.
Replacement cost settlement is conditional on the building being insured at or near what it costs to rebuild. Where the limit is short, a form can settle the loss at actual cash value instead, and the reduction applies to the whole claim rather than to the shortfall.
Because: No policy exists yet, so there is no limit to check. The figure to check one against is the $102,000 to $187,000 rebuild band on this page, and that band came from a per-square-foot rate on the floor area stated on the listing.
A roof surface can be endorsed to actual cash value on its own while the rest of the dwelling stays at replacement cost, and it arrives as an endorsement on the policy rather than as a line in the quote. How often that is done, and from what roof age, is not something this build measured: the 15 and 20 years below are its own thresholds for raising the question.
Because: Nothing on the record says when the roof was last done, so this cannot be ruled in or out.
Contents are settled at replacement cost on some forms and at actual cash value on others, and the cheaper of two quotes is sometimes cheaper because it is the second kind. Certain categories are settled at actual cash value on every form regardless.
Because: Nothing on a listing says which basis a form we have not seen settles contents on. It is a question for the quote rather than a fact about the house.
This build models cover as suspending in part once the dwelling is unoccupied or vacant beyond a stated number of consecutive days, with water damage the first thing to go. No policy wording has been read here, so the number of days and what it suspends are on the form. That is not a depreciated payout, it is no payout.
Because: Priced as condo unit owner policy.
The corporation's master policy rebuilds the unit to the standard unit by-law and your form insures the improvements above it. The two can be written on different bases, so the kitchen a previous owner installed can be paid for on a different footing from the walls around it.
Because: Priced as a condo unit owner policy, so a master policy sits behind this one.
Not the premium: what the policy covers and who carries what. Each of these comes from a specific field on this listing, named at the foot of the note, and each ends with the question it turns into on a broker call.
The master policy insures the structure and the common elements. Your form insures your improvements, your contents, your liability and loss assessment. The master policy carries a deductible of its own, which can be far larger than yours, and where a loss starts in your unit the corporation's by-law can charge that deductible back to you. Nothing here has read a status certificate, so this holds no figure for it.
A dishwasher hose that empties into three units below is a claim on the corporation's policy and an assessment on you. Unit owner's deductible assessment coverage is what pays it, and it is only useful if the limit is at least as large as the master policy deductible.
A standard unit by-law is what defines the line between what the master policy rebuilds and what your own form does, and this build assumes that line sits at the unit as it was originally built. No by-law and no status certificate has been read here. Anything above that line, a renovated kitchen, engineered floors, a finished ceiling, sits on your form as improvements and betterments.
A unit bought after a $90,000 renovation carries $90,000 of exposure the corporation's policy does not answer for, and the improvements limit is the line on your own form that answers for it, so it is worth setting against what the work cost rather than leaving at whatever the form defaults to.
Water escaping from your unit into the units below is the loss this build asks a unit owner about first. No claims data has been read here, so that is an ordering of questions and not a count of claims. Your personal liability answers for the damage to their property, and the corporation's deductible chargeback is a separate bill on top of it.
Two exposures from one hose, and neither of them is your own kitchen. It is the reason a unit owner form is not simply a smaller homeowner policy.
A standard Ontario homeowner form is narrower than most buyers assume. Water coming back up a drain, water running across the ground into a basement, the buried pipe between the street and the house, and a rebuild that costs more than the policy limit are all outside it unless added. Each of these is priced per year and shown with what the base form excludes.
Nothing added. The estimate above is the base form only, with every exclusion listed here left in place.
Water arriving by two different routes, the pipe you own under your own front garden, and a rebuild that costs more than the limit. Sewer backup is the most common large claim in the GTA and every one of these is opt-in.
Without it: A standard Ontario homeowner policy excludes water that backs up through sewers, drains, or a sump that fails or overflows.
A backed-up drain into a finished basement is expensive to put right: $25,000 to $100,000 for flooring, drywall, mechanicals and contents, which is this build's own band and not a claims record. Without the endorsement the policy pays nothing.
Without it: Surface water, rapid snowmelt or accumulated rain entering the building at or above grade is excluded separately from sewer backup.
The two water endorsements cover different paths for the same storm. Buying one and not the other is how a claim gets denied on a technicality about where the water came in.
Not on condo unit owner policy. The buried water and sewer lateral serving the building belongs to the corporation, and so does the cover for it. There is no pipe on a unit owner's form to endorse. It stays on the list because knowing who carries it is the useful part.
Without it: The buried water, sewer, gas, electrical and internet lines between the street and the house, which the owner owns and the base policy does not cover.
A collapsed lateral or failed water service is $8,000 to $25,000 in excavation and restoration, more under a driveway or a mature garden. Both ends of that band are this build's own figures, read off no invoice. Cheap cover for a large exposure.
Not on condo unit owner policy. There is no dwelling limit on a unit owner's form to remove the ceiling from. The corporation's master policy insures the building, and the equivalent question for a unit owner is whether the improvements limit is high enough. It stays on the list because knowing who carries it is the useful part.
Without it: Rebuild cost above the dwelling limit stated on the policy.
After a total loss, construction costs are whatever they are that year. This removes the limit rather than raising it, which matters most on custom homes where the rebuild cannot be estimated from a per-square-foot table.
This is the replacement cost switch in your coverage choices above. Both set the same thing.
Without it: Water entering through the foundation by seepage or hydrostatic pressure.
Narrower than overland water and often bundled with it. Where it is sold separately, a seepage claim on an older foundation falls in this gap.
Without it: Mechanical or electrical failure of home systems and appliances, as opposed to damage from an insured peril.
A failed heat pump, geothermal loop or built-in appliance suite is $5,000 to $30,000, which is this build's own band rather than a repair anybody costed, and the base policy treats wear as the owner's problem.
Both of these turn on what happens at the property rather than on what it is made of.
Without it: Liability above the policy limit, which on this build's own selector is $1M, $2M or $5M.
A pool, a trampoline, a dock or a licensed driver in the household are all liability exposures where a judgment can exceed a base limit. This build prices it per additional million, off the band below rather than off any quote.
Without it: Any commercial use of the dwelling, including short-term rental.
Renting a basement suite or the whole house to short-term guests without this can void the policy entirely, not merely deny the one claim.
Contents are covered to a sub-limit per category no matter how high the contents limit is. Scheduling names the item and insures it at its appraised value.
Without it: Jewellery, watches and furs above a category sub-limit rather than up to the contents limit. This build assumes $6,000 for the group and less per item. No policy wording has been read here, so the sub-limit that governs a claim is the one on the declarations page.
One watch can exceed the entire category sub-limit. Scheduling appraises each item, and whether a deductible still applies to it is a question for the declarations page.
Without it: Art is covered as ordinary contents, with no allowance for appraised value.
Scheduled art is insured at agreed value, so a loss pays the appraisal rather than an adjuster's opinion of a canvas.
Without it: Breakage, and spoilage from failure of the cellar's cooling equipment.
A cellar cooling failure over a long weekend can write off the whole collection, and the base policy treats the bottles as contents and the failure as wear.
Without it: Firearms, coins, stamps and similar categories, each with its own sub-limit.
Sub-limits are low and per category, so a modest collection exhausts one immediately.
High-value items may need an appraisal. Whether one is required, how recent it has to be, and above what value are set by the provider rather than by one rule that applies everywhere. What is asked for is ordinarily a dated appraisal from a qualified appraiser, with photographs and serial numbers where an item has them. It is the document worth having before the policy is bound rather than after a loss: a scheduled item is insured at its appraised value, and the appraisal is what fixes that value while nothing is in dispute.
Neither pays for damage to the house. Both pay for the paperwork after something else.
Without it: The cost of restoring credit and identity records after a theft.
Small premium, and it pays the administrative cost rather than the loss itself.
Without it: Legal costs for property, employment and contract disputes.
A boundary or contractor dispute is billed by the hour whether or not you are right. This covers the hours.
Contents cover is capped per category, not only in total. A $40,000 contents limit does not mean $40,000 of jewellery is covered, and the gap is where the surprises live. Put in what you own and this says how much of it the standard form would leave out, and what to ask about each kind.
These do not change the range above. Scheduled articles are rated per item on an appraisal, and we hold no rate for that, so nothing here is priced per dollar of value. The riders themselves carry a flat band in the list of what the standard form leaves out, and that band does not scale with what you declare. Nothing typed here is sent anywhere.
Rings, necklaces, earrings, loose stones.
Timepieces, and the accessories a form groups with furs.
Paintings, sculpture, antiques, signed editions.
Cellared bottles, and the cellar's cooling equipment.
Nothing declared, so nothing has been measured against a sub-limit. The limits are worth reading even at nothing declared: a single engagement ring can sit above the per-item cap on a standard form, and the cap applies whether or not anyone has thought about it.
Derived from the build year, the heating, the roof and the plumbing on this listing, not from a questionnaire. Each finding names what underwriters ask for and the inspection that settles it inside a condition period.
An insurer can answer no rather than name a price. When that happens there is no policy to show the lender, and a lender that cannot see proof of insurance does not release the mortgage funds on closing day. That is why these sit beside the premium instead of under it: a surcharge is a number to decide about, and a refusal is a closing that does not happen with the deposit already in trust.
Nothing on the listing says when the roof was last done, and on a building this old the build year does not settle it either.
Plan the inspections these need on this listing's inspection page, which carries the lead time for each one and the last date it can be booked and still report before a condition expires. An inspection booked after that date buys a document you cannot act on.
On closing day, before funds move. Your lender will instruct their solicitor not to advance without proof of insurance, so a binder has to be in the lawyer's hands before the date, not on it. We have no closing date for you: put it on the request below and the deadline comes back with it.
