The Similarities
With both a condo and a farmhouse, you would get full coverage if you take out a Home Insurance policy. The only difference is that each of these properties has different types of coverage scopes and limitations available. Listed below are the specifics:

1. Standard Coverage
   This coverage typically includes physical properties. It will protect the property against additional costs of repair or renovation in case of accidents or calamities. If you want to add another extension to your condominium unit or farmhouse, your standard insurance coverage can take care of the financial aspect.
   
   
2. Personal Property Coverage
   For both farmhouses and condominium units, insurance coverage includes personal items inside the building. If you happen to damage any furniture or decorative items inside the house, the insurance policy can easily cover replacements.
   
   
3. Personal Liability and Medical Expenses
   Farmhouse and condominium unit owners are also covered if in case someone files a personal injury lawsuit against them. The insurance company will take care of any kind of litigation needs they may face. The company will also take care of medical expenses if and when necessary.

The Differences
Equipment, Property Lines and Animals
The main differences between coverage for farmhouses vs. condominium units have to do with additional equipment and property lines. For farmhouses, additional Home Insurance coverage includes farming equipment as well as poultry and other farm animals.

It also protects the expanse of the farmland along with the physical farmhouse. With condominium units, pets may not be included with the coverage. You will need to obtain another set of insurance policies for your pets if you have any as a condominium unit owner.
