What is it?
Insurance that will pay for repairs to the property and pay to replace your contents
Why do you need it?
How would you pay for your property to be rebuilt in the event of a fire? How would you replace your contents?
If you have a mortgage on your home, one of the mortgage conditions is that adequate buildings insurance is in place
Options
Many insurance companies offer savings if you arrange both buildings and contents cover under the same policy.
There are many options available with this type of insurance, including the ability to:
- insure against accidental damage (e.g. you drop paint on the carpet whilst decorating)
- insure items that you take outside of your home (e.g. laptops, jewellery, cameras etc)
- take additional legal expenses cover to provide funds in the event of a legal dispute with, for instance, your neighbour or employer
