Rebuild cost is usually lower than the market value. It is important you have the right level of cover so you don't end up paying any shortfall in the event of a claim.

The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) provides a free online calculator to help you check the adequacy of your building sums insured.  You can find it here.
