Brantford home insurance

Home insurance protects you, your family and your possessions from loss and liability. This is no less true in Brantford, Ontario, home of The Great One – Wayne Gretzky. Despite its historical significance to the hockey community, Brantford has its issues with crime and other events.

Home insurance in Brantford also covers you for covered perils and liability issues. It is likely your biggest asset and you will want to ensure it is protected should theft, damage or lawsuits come your way.

Brantford home insurance also protects your mortgage lender, which is why it is a requirement for securing a mortgage (although not a mandatory requirement of owning a home).

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) is the regulatory body for Ontario’s property and casualty, and general insurance sector. The agency’s role is to ensure agents and businesses that sell property and casualty, and general insurance comply with provincial laws, including meeting the qualifications and ongoing requirements for a license. FSRA also provides oversight to the adjusters and firms that investigate property and casualty, and general insurance claims.
