Home Insurance

Buildings, Contents and Buildings & Contents Cover

It’s estimated that around a quarter of UK homes (7 million) are currently without home insurance

Your home is financially protected by home insurance (also known as house insurance cover). If you and your family experience things like theft, fire, or floods, it might be able to help.

There are two parts to home insurance: buildings insurance and content insurance. The two can be a single policy or you can have them as a combined policy.

What is buildings and contents cover?

Buildings insurance is intended to offer financial security in the event that the walls, roof, or floors of your home sustain damage. It typically also covers damage to fittings and fixtures.

Building insurance is a requirement of your mortgage.

Whilst contents cover is everything that’s inside your house: furniture, art, electronics, jewellery for example. The best way to think about it is if you were to tip your house upstairs and shake it, everything that would fall out because they’re not fixed, would be covered under contents cover.

A popular option is to have buildings and contents combined.

 What does home insurance cover?

A home insurance policy usually covers damages covered by:

  • Storm
  • Escape of water
  • Theft or vandalism
  • Fire and smoke
  • Falling trees and branches
  • Collison

However, every insurer will have their own terms and you will need to double check your policy wording to check what you’re covered.

What is accidental damage cover?

Accidental damage is basically what it says on the tin, it’s when your home is damaged by accident. It’s usually something that’s a single event and a one off event such as spilling wine on your carpet or a ball smashing one of your windows.

It won’t cover something where there’s been a lack of care such as your roof is leaking because you’ve failed to care for it or didn’t get it fixed when it was a smaller issue.
