Good questions.
Worth asking.
Does a legal suite automatically mean insurance acceptance?
No. Confirm municipal requirements separately and disclose the actual occupancy and use to the provider. Obtain written insurance acceptance.
Are water options the same across Edmonton?
Do not assume so. Terms and availability can depend on the property and provider. Compare the actual address-specific wording.
Should tax-assessed value be used as rebuilding value?
Ask the provider about its rebuilding assessment. Market and assessed values serve different purposes from the cost of restoring the building under the policy.
