Title: So what happens if there is real Earthquake damage?
Post by: Merlin on June 11, 2012, 10:48:09 AM

God forbid however, it is clear that with many TAPUs showing a far less worth of the property, that DASK insurance for earthquake damage would leave many people underinsured.

I guess this is heightened if your property is in a terrace or semi-detached as this would leave you legally liable for any under insured cost that does not meet the required amount to repair yours and neighbors joint walls.

Most sensible folk top up the DASK with other insurance, so God forbid in the event of an earthquake you will have the cost to rebuild. You have bought up a very valid point as we are semi detached.....and was only saying yesterday thank goodness we are well insured.  Never gave it a thought that my neighbour could be under insured. Going to see my neighbour and have a chat to see if they have adequate insurance.

I thought Dask ınsurance was just to pay to clear the sıte after your buıldıng collapsed and you needed buıldıngs ınsurance to rebuıld the property. Anyone confırm thıs for me.

100 percent correct Quackers, thats all a dansk policy covers  getting rid of the rubble

So this basically means Dask is worthless - what other options are there in the private sector to obtain FULL and adequate cover?

Has anyone gone down this route?

And what happens if everyone has Dask in a big apartment block apart from one person - do they leave his rubble?

Yes, Dask is virtually useless but nevertheless it is compulsory. Any insurance company will offer FULL and Adequate cover at a cost and I don't know anybody who HAS NOT gone down this route.

Julie I think we may be talking at cross purposes. I am referring to my buildings and contents insurance which quotes a sum adequate to cover rebuild. My attached neighbours obviously have to have similar cover and I know that they do. I know that all owners on our complex are covered, some with Intasure and others with various Sigorta.

I do not think Dask is worthless. it pays to have site cleared or else you would have to pay yourself and that can be expensive.

if you have no cover for a rebuild who would worry about liability for JCB costs  8)

I live here so need my villa  hence having dask and building insurance to make sure I will have somewhere to live in the event of an earthquake. What do others think about buildıngs insurance. I had it in UK so makes sense to have it out here.

The mayor of Oludeniz, Keramettin Yilmaz, told the private NTV television network that the quake had caused material damage but that he had no immediate reports of casualties.

It seems everybody thinks the DASK (TCIP) insurance is for total loss only, I see nowhere on the Governement website that states it is for clearance of site only, here's the link, maybe one of the doom and gloom brigade can point out where the evidence/facts on the site is, or is it just the usual bar gossip??

I have been to get the low down on Dask. On your DASK policy is an ammount the Turkish Govenment will give you (usually about 1/3rd of the property value as on the TAPU) This is given to rebuild the shell of your property. You choose the builder. You take out additional buildings insurane to cover the completion of the property. i.e. windows ,doors, fixtures and fittings ,tiles,painting , pool ,ect. This ammount is also paid to you direct.There is a 2% excess on the ammount paid to you on both polices.You can also take out contents insurance and any items you have 2 or more of (laptops,TV ect) have to be listed also any valuable items (jewelry ect) and they should be photographed and a copy given to insurer. A standard policy for contents starts at 20k tl. To obtain additional buildings insurance you will need a copy of your Dask,Tapu and Tax number ,also copies of passports for all persons named on the Tapu. In the event of minor damage to your building(cracks) it pays out and in the event of an earthquake later in the same year the policy runs it will pay out again. Hope this helps .

Oh and by the way my buildings and contents insurance is 388tl a year . I do not think that is expensive.

Can you please clarify the situation for me.

As I ınderstand from your post.
1. You have added 99,000 liras worth of extra cover , for 28 lira, to your DASK buildings insurance?
2.This will also cover contents?
Title: Re: So what happens if there is real Earthquake damage?
Post by: quackers on June 21, 2012, 18:03:56 PM
You cannot add/increase  DASK the ammount is set by the sq metres of your villa as on your Tapu. I think he has taken out extra buildings and contents insurance. But only 28tl thats a bargain. Hope he tells us who with.

Yours is a very good price Mark.

I have just had a quote for buildings and contents insurance from Allianz, the buildings cover was for 40K and the premium came in at 310Lira, Dask was an additional 110Lira, this was based on a 75Sq/m 2 bedroom apartment.

After waiting for over a month for a quote for a fully comprehensive policy for my car, i have now given up and gone elsewhere, although the salesman is a very nice guy, he does come across as a bit of a "Jack The Lad".

I put a question to him which had come up in a previous topic, I asked him if a friend could drive the car and be put on the policy? The reply was, "anyone can drive and if there is a problem ring me and i will speak to the polis"
Yeah right he will!! It didn't inspire me with a great deal of confidence which has been proven by the lack of a quote.

The insurance cost has not to be paid at once , can be divided to 4 , 6 etc , talk to your insurance man.

Post by: daveG on June 24, 2012, 09:11:56 AM
We also use AK Sigorta and have done so for the last 8yrs, although fortunately have not had to make any claims.
