Home Insurance

Your house is likely to be your most valuable asset, which is why you need to ensure you have a comprehensive home insurance policy in place to financially protect your home and belongings. 

When buying a home insurance policy it’s important to understand that buildings insurance and contents insurance are different. Many policies will enable you to combine this cover, or you quite often have the choice to purchase them separately too.

What’s the difference between buildings and contents insurance?

Buildings insurance is designed to cover the cost of repairing damage or, in extreme cases, rebuilding the structure of your home if it is damaged by an insured event, such as a fire. Typically, buildings insurance will cover your roof, floors and walls, as well as permanent fixtures such as kitchens and bathrooms. 

Contents insurance protects your belongings. It may cover the cost of replacing them if they’re damaged or stolen.
