Home Insurance San Pedro de Alcántara

Q: Does my San Pedro de Alcántara home insurance cover flood, storm or DANA damage?

The Spanish Consorcio de Compensacion de Seguros covers extraordinary natural events - floods, earthquakes, severe storms and DANA (cut-off low pressure) damage - provided you hold a contract that includes the Consorcio premium component (every standard Generali home policy does). The specific weather risk in San Pedro de Alcantara is shaped by high property values raising rebuild figures, squatter risk on empty holiday homes, salt corrosion close to the coast. We always confirm Consorcio cover is itemised in your quote schedule.

Q: How much should I insure my San Pedro de Alcántara home for (continente / rebuild cost)?

The continente sum-insured should match the rebuild cost - not the market value, and not the purchase price. In San Pedro de Alcantara, current rebuild costs typically run from EUR 1,200 to EUR 1,900 per built m² for an average villa, higher for new-build and very high spec. We calculate a free capital-asegurado figure with every quote using the Generali surveyor table, so you do not under-insure (which would cause a proportional claim reduction) or over-insure (which costs you needless premium).
