What is home insurance?
Home insurance covers one of two things: your structural property or the possessions and items within your home.

Covering you and your property against theft and damage, helping you find alternative accommodation if needed, and with a range of extras available, having home insurance in place is crucial if you own a home of any kind.
The different forms of home insurance

What is contents insurance?

Your possessions make you who you are, so it’s important to protect them. Contents insurance does exactly this and keeps your prized possessions covered against theft or loss.

Contents insurance also covers carpets, furniture, and essentially, everything in your house that isn’t part of the structure itself.

What is buildings insurance?

Buildings insurance is coverage for the bricks and mortar of your home. It protects your castle walls against damage caused by floods, fire, or other natural events, and also includes things like gas leaks, broken pipes, leaky boilers, and more.
Is home insurance worth it?
The short answer to this one is yes, absolutely.

If you’re looking to buy a home, it’s often a prerequisite to have buildings insurance in place before the lender releases your mortgage funds. If you own a property, you could be covered against a wide range of circumstances that would damage your finances substantially without coverage.

Home insurance FAQs

  • How much is home insurance?

    Home insurance is split into two different categories and it’s difficult to quantify into an exact number. Every home is different and as a result, every home insurance policy is different, too.

  • How much is buildings insurance?

    Buildings insurance is often more expensive than contents insurance, as it covers your actual property, which is generally worth more than what you have inside the home. However, every policy is unique and therefore it’s impossible to tell how much your buildings insurance will cost. 

    We can always give you a ballpark when you get in touch, however, and only provide you with options you can afford.

  • How much is contents insurance?

    Contents insurance is generally cheaper than buildings insurance because the possessions inside your home are cheaper to replace than the building itself. While it’s not possible to put a definitive figure on it, we assure you we can find a contents insurance policy that fits your budget and protection requirements.

  • What does home insurance cover?

    Home insurance is a broad term that is split into both contents and buildings insurance. Contents insurance covers your possessions and things inside your home like carpets, furniture, and everything else. 

    Buildings insurance covers the property itself and structural elements like windows, water damage from leaks, vandalism, natural events, and more.
