Home Inventory Checklist

You can’t afford not to be insured. You also can’t afford not to be properly prepared. Which is why you need to know exactly what you’ve got, what you paid for it, and how much it’s worth – from awesome new TV to that lawn mower in the garage, and everything in-between.

To make things easier for you, we’ve put together this handy interactive Home Inventory list. Simply use it as you go through each room in your home and fill in each page (which will automatically tally up your home contents’ values). Soon you’ll have a comprehensive list of all the things you own, as well as when you bought them and how much they cost.

Another really great idea is to keep all your receipts and take photos of your very expensive items. You can also use your smartphone to make a video of all your possessions. Just remember to be very thorough and to verbally describe everything you’re recording. When you’re done, simply make a copy of everything and store it somewhere safe (at work or at a relative). Sorted.
