"House Rebuilding Cost Assessments for Insurance Purposes

Most domestic house insurance policies require that the sum assured
is the full rebuilding cost of the property.

Why?

All insurance works that way. If you make a claim, and you
were only insured for half the full cost, then you will only
get half the claim, even if the claim is only for a 100th of
the full cost. Same with home contents, etc. That's one of
the things the insurance assessor is checking when he/she
calls during a claim.
