To find out if a home has had previous insurance claims, view a CLUE report or a home seller's disclosure report. CLUE stands for Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange and is a database of claim information. The claims listed in the database will indicate losses on a home that go back five years. CLUE reports will provide the peace of mind of knowing that there are no previous insurance losses for a home.

Have your realtor contact the buyer's realtor and ask him to provide a home seller's disclosure report.
Make an offer on a home and include a provision that a CLUE report or home seller's disclosure report be included as a condition of the sale.
