Home Insurance

What is Home Insurance?

Home Insurance is generally split into 2 main types of cover - buildings insurance and contents insurance. Typically, most providers classify contents insurance as everything that would fall out if you turned your home upside down, and buildings insurance is what would be left behind, but there are several other aspects to consider. Buildings insurance is the only mandatory insurance you need alongside a mortgage.

Things to Consider:

Does your building insurance policy meet your mortgage lender’s requirements?
Do you have any high value items in your home?
Do you want to cover any items away from the home such as jewellery or watches?
Portable items such as laptops, cameras, tablets and phones aren’t typically covered under standard contents policies so need to be added separately to your cover.
Do you have any previous claims?
Is your house a main residence or a buy to let property?
