If this evaluation grid is properly completed there will be no risk of under insurance. If, against you forget to mention certain things, it may be that disaster be faced with in insurance ie the value of the insured property is less than the actual value of the property.
This applies even if you have made any changes or modifications to your home and the value of it is increased. Your evaluation grid is outdated and you may be a victim of under insurance.
