How does coinsurance work in Mexico?

Coinsurance (Coaseguro) is the portion of a catastrophic loss (hydrometeorological phenomenon or earthquake) you must pay after your deductible is applied. It is calculated on the remaining claim amount.

With Novamar’s optional benefit, you can eliminate coinsurance by paying an additional premium — meaning you would only be responsible for the deductible, resulting in a higher payout.

What would be the cost of replacing the building and contents?

Building replacement cost + Content value = Insured value

(Higher contents cost will be reflected in premiums)

Building Value

Contents Value

Property value vs. insured value

Property value (or market value) is the amount a property would sell for on the current real estate market, including the land value. Insured value (or replacement cost) is the amount it would cost to completely rebuild the structure from scratch at today's material and labor prices, which excludes the land value.

How Is the Building Sum Insured Determined?

Property owners in Mexico typically choose between three valuation methods:

Commercial Value

Coverage is based on the property's purchase price. This option is commonly used for condominiums, particularly when there is no HOA master policy covering the reconstruction of the entire complex in the event of a total loss. It is a good way to ensure the property if the owner is worried about losing their investment.

Reconstruction Value

Coverage is based on the cost to rebuild the structure. This option is typically recommended for standalone homes or townhouses, where the owner already owns the land and wants to insure the reconstruction of the building itself. Here you can select a sum insured with sufficient funds to fully reconstruct the property in the event of a total loss.

Risk Value

Depending on the exposure of the Standalone/Townhouse, this type of coverage allows the owner to insure the property for a lower amount then the reconstruction value, which is suitable for owners that considered a total loss is unlikely to happen due to the location of the property, or when the owner has an apartment in a Condominium Complex that has an HOA master policy to rebuild the entire building in case of catastrophic event.

First Risk basically means you don’t insure the property's reconstruction value or its commercial price; you only contract for a lower sum insured for minor structural damages. And since the deductibles for catastrophic coverages (such as Hydrometeorological Phenomena and Earthquakes) are calculated as a percentage of the sum insured, choosing a lower insured amount will also reduce your deductible and the total premium of your policy.

How does coinsurance apply to residential properties in Mexico?

Coinsurance represents the portion of a loss that the property owner must pay after the deductible has been applied to a claim. It is essentially a second participation of the insured when damage is caused by either hydrometeorological phenomena or an earthquake.

Coinsurance is calculated based on the amount being claimed after the deductible has been subtracted.

At Novamar, we now offer a New Benefit that allows you to pay an additional premium to eliminate the coinsurance. This means that, in the event of a covered loss due to hydrometeorological phenomena or earthquake, you would only be responsible for paying the applicable deductible, resulting in a higher payout of your claim.

Hydrometeorological Phenomena are considered the following:

Mudslide / Landslide – Movement of mud or earth caused by heavy rain or flooding.

Hail – Frozen precipitation falling in the form of ice pellets. This coverage includes damage caused by hail impact and blockage of rainwater drainage systems.

Frost – Damage resulting from an unexpected drop in temperature, causing water to freeze at the location where the loss occurs.

Hurricane – A large-scale atmospheric system characterized by intense circular winds around a low-pressure center, occurring over land or water, with sustained wind speeds of 118 km/h (74 mph) or greater, as officially recognized by authorities.

Flood – The temporary and accidental covering of normally dry land by water due to overflow, diversion, underflow, or rupture of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals, or other natural or artificial bodies of water.

Ocean Surge (Tsunami) – A violent displacement of sea water caused by a seabed disturbance, propagating toward the coastline and potentially resulting in flooding.
