When insuring your heritage home, shop around, reduce risk, keep accurate records, document unique characteristics and buy sufficient insurance. If the property is damaged, be mindful of planning approvals, appraisal expertise, by-laws, claims settlement costs, distinctive features and contaminants.
What Defines a Heritage Property?
A heritage property is an example of our cultural history that connects us to the past. Contact your municipal and/or provincial government for information on types of heritage designations and stewardship information. Owning a heritage property is an investment in Canada’s history and community stewardship.
