Carrier appetite summary
Official site content does not show a standalone underwriting or broker appetite guide for Home, but the published consumer/product pages indicate Finger Lakes Fire & Casualty writes homeowners business in New York, with specific emphasis on Upstate NY homeowners. Preferred personal lines include owner-occupied homes, manufactured homes/mobile homes, renters/tenants, seasonal properties, and 1-4 family residential rental properties; the company also markets dwelling fire for 1-4 family dwellings not eligible for its other programs and landlord package coverage for residential rental property. Homeowners coverage is described as customizable and includes dwelling, personal property, loss of use, liability, medical payments, and other structures; all personal lines policies include identity theft protection at no additional cost. Geographic note: the site repeatedly references NY state and Upstate NY, so current published appetite appears New York-focused rather than multistate. Restrictions/declines are not expressly published for home risks on the verified pages; however, the dwelling fire product is positioned for 1-4 family dwellings not eligible for other programs, implying standard homeowner placement first and nonstandard residential property redirected to dwelling fire when eligible. Submission/broker notes: business is distributed through independent agents; insureds are instructed to contact an independent agent for a quote, and the site provides Find an Agency, Apply to Be an Agent, and AgentConnect access, indicating producer-driven submissions rather than direct online quoting. No official page located with detailed submission checklists, valuation rules, protection class limits, age-of-home standards, coastal/wildfire guidance, or explicit declined classes, so underwriting expectations beyond the above are not publicly verified.
