In our experience we often hear more about insurance issues and the need for a home inventory following national disasters. Tasmanians regularly experience storms and high winds, flooding and the threat of bushfire. It is also not unusual for there to be the occasional crime wave where domestic properties and business premises in an area or suburb may be specifically targeted.
Why don't people document their property?
- Lack of time - The major reason people do not get around to doing their home inventory is simply a perceived lack of time. Our clients and people with whom we have spoken allude to busy lifestyles or careers and family obligations – they feel there is not enough hours in a day or they are just too busy.
- Do not know where to start - Many people feel overwhelmed when they commence their own inventory. It is only at the commencement of their inventory that people realise the enormity of the task and the need for a methodical and professional approach. We often have clients state “ we just didn’t know where to start”
- They will remember what they have - People who have experienced a loss do not remember everything they had nor can they always prove their loss – ask anyone who handles insurance claims. Try this little test - quickly write down what you think you have in your linen cupboard - then compare your list with the actual contents –scary, isn’t it!
