How many days does the Building and Personal Property Coverage form extend coverage for newly acquired buildings or new buildings under construction?

The Building and Personal Property Coverage form typically extends coverage for newly acquired buildings or buildings under construction for a period of 30 days. This provision is important because it ensures that policyholders have protection during the transition period when they acquire new properties or are constructing buildings. The coverage starts from the date of acquisition or the commencement of construction and allows the insured to focus on completing transactions or projects without immediate concern for coverage gaps.

This 30-day extension is a common industry standard, providing a reasonable window for policyholders to notify their insurance provider about new properties or construction projects and to ensure that the insurance coverage is appropriately adjusted. Knowing this time frame is helpful for agents when advising clients about managing risks associated with real estate transactions and construction activities.
