Home Insurance buyer's guide
Insurance equals peace of mind. With adequate cover you know that you’ll be able to replace your belongings and have somewhere to live if you are burgled, have an accident or get caught up in an emergency. It’s important to get the right level of cover and to understand the difference between contents and buildings insurance.
- Buildings insurance covers the fabric of your home – the bricks and mortar- against things like fire, flood or subsidence
- Contents insurance covers your belongings
As a rule of thumb, any item you would normally take with you if you moved would come under your contents policy. Anything else that’s actually part of the house, comes under your buildings policy.
