Home contents, honestly counted

Most people find out they were under-insured on the worst day of their life.

Listalot photographs what you own, works out what it would cost to replace new, and holds that against the sum insured and the sub-limits on your actual policy. Then it tells you the gap, and exactly where it is.

You look about A$29,142 short

A$99,142 of contents against A$70,000 insured, which is 42% over.

Based on 8 of 9 rooms, with 2 of 48 items still to be valued properly. The real figure is more likely to be above this than below it.

“Around four in five Australian households are under-insured for their contents.”

A finding repeated across industry research, including the Insurance Council of Australia. The reason is rarely carelessness — it is that nobody has a list.

Three evenings, not three weekends

  1. 1

    Photograph the big things

    The sofa, the television, the fridge. The app works out what each one is and what it would cost to replace new — you correct anything it gets wrong, and nothing is saved until you do.

  2. 2

    Add your policy

    The sum insured off your schedule, and the sub-limits underneath it. Ten minutes with the PDF, or point the camera at it and check what it read.

  3. 3

    Find out where you stand

    One number, with the reasons beside it: the gap, which classes are over their limits, and which items your insurer would want listed individually.

Built to be right rather than reassuring

The sub-limits are where it actually goes wrong

A household can be perfectly covered on the headline number and still be paid A$1,000 for a A$9,000 ring, because of a special limit nobody read. That is the first thing this looks for.

A car in the garage is not contents

Neither is the fitted carpet, and if you rent, the built-in oven is not yours to insure. Everything is sorted by what your policy would actually pay for, so the total is one you could defend to an assessor.

It tells you how much to trust it

Eight of nine rooms done, two items never valued — said next to the figure, not buried. A number that looks more certain than it is would be worse than no number.

You can take it all with you

Every record as JSON and every photo at full size, in one file, whenever you like. No reason asked. An inventory you cannot get out of the app is not really yours.
