1 STANDARD HOMEOWNER UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES SHO - UW Guide

2 I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The Agent shall complete and submit the Texas Application for Homeowner s Insurance from the Agent Login section of Wellington Risk Insurance Agency s website. Following submission of the Application online, the Agent will have the Insured electronically or hand sign the Application as well as other policy documentation which requires a customer signature. Following the electronic submission of the Application and acceptance of the Application by Wellington Risk Insurance Agency s computer system, the Agent will receive electronically a Coverage Certificate that includes the applicant s policy number. The Coverage Certificate is evidence of coverage suitable for a real estate closing transaction in most instances. II. TERRITORY Subject to authority granted to the Agent under the Producer s Agreement with Wellington Risk Insurance Agency, all homes eligible for coverage must be located in the state of Texas. III. ELIGIBILITY A. One Family Dwellings One family dwellings which are used exclusively for residential purposes may be issued a policy in the name of an owner-occupant of the dwelling. A townhouse, condominium unit, group homes, bed & breakfast, farm property, and any isolated or inaccessible risk is not eligible for coverage. If the owner does not reside in the dwelling, an Additional Named Insured Endorsement must be applied. B. Two Family Dwellings Two family dwellings, which are used exclusively for residential purposes, may be issued a policy in the name of an owner-occupant of the dwelling by use of the Extended Premises Endorsement. If the owner does not reside in the dwelling, an Additional Named Insured Endorsement must be applied. Two family dwellings occupied by co-owners (occupying separate premises) may be insured by issuing the policy in the name of one co-owner and use of the Additional Insured - Non Occupant Endorsement to cover the interest of the other owner. The owner named in the endorsement should obtain a separate renter s policy. C. All Dwellings If the dwelling is owned jointly by persons living as a single family unit, it is permissible to name all such persons in the policy by use of the Additional Insured Named Endorsement. If the dwelling is also owned by persons not named in the policy, their interests in real property and liability at the described premises may be covered by use of the Additional Insured Non Occupant Endorsement. Policies may not be written on commercial farm property. Property, however, is considered noncommercial farm when the agricultural products produced on the entire land involved are incidental to the occupancy of the dwelling, are principally for home consumption, and farming is not the primary occupation of the Insured. D. Dwellings in the Course of Construction A Homeowners policy covering property in the course of construction is not permitted. SHO-UW Guide 2

3 IV. CONSTRUCTION Homes are classified as Frame, Brick Veneer (Hardi-Plank or other Fiber Cement siding will be classified as Brick Veneer), Brick, or Asbestos/Stucco. If the home is of mixed construction, classify the type of construction based upon the majority construction type. V. USE OF CREDIT REPORT The Homeowners policy is not rated based upon an applicant s credit score. The credit score of applicants will be checked, but only as an underwriting tool; an applicant s rate will not be determined by his or her credit score and no applicant will be turned away solely because of his or her credit score. VI. POLICY A. Policy Period Policies are written for an annual term. B. Homeowners Policy C. Type The Homeowners policy may be written to insure owners of dwellings. If the owner does not reside in the dwelling, an Additional Named Insured Endorsement must be applied. The policy is a named peril policy with 12 named perils. Replacement cost coverage on the dwelling and personal property is included. Coverage for the sudden and accidental discharge of water or steam from a plumbing system, HVAC system, fire protection system or appliance above the surface of the ground or above the slab is optional. D. Coverage limits: 1. Coverage A Dwelling Protection up to $400, Coverage B Other Structures: up to 50% of Coverage A 3. Coverage C Personal Property Protection: up to 60% of Coverage A 4. Coverage X Family Liability Protection up to $300, Coverage Y Guest Medical Protection up to $5,000 maximum E. Deductibles 1. Policies may be written with deductibles ranging from 1% to 5% applicable to the specific or combined perils insured. All deductibles apply on a flat (non-disappearing) basis. Deductibles do not apply to a total loss by fire, additional living expense, or fire department charges. 2. Deductible factors for Homeowners policies are based on the Coverage A amount of the dwelling. The minimum deductible is 1% for all perils, subject to $250 minimum. F. Optional Coverages SHO-UW Guide 3
