Why do you need Home Insurance?

Home Insurance Quote; Buildings insurance, Contents Insurance or Both?

You’ll definitely need buildings insurance but you might also want a home insurance quote that includes contents insurance.  If you’re a homeowner and live in the property, you could purchase a combined policy as you’re responsible for anything that happens to your home and its contents.  If you are renting a property, you only need to look at contents cover.  The landlord is responsible for the buildings insurance.  Further details will be in your tenancy agreement.

Buildings insurance – What is it?

This cover protects the bricks and mortar of your home, including the walls, roof, ceiling, fitted kitchen and any other structures.  You will have to estimate as accurately as possible the rebuild cost of your property so that enough would be provided in a payout but without the premiums being too high.

Contents insurance – What is it?

This covers all the things that you own including furniture, clothes and electrical items.  You’ll have to estimate the cost of these items so that enough would be given out in a payout.  In particular, more expensive items and their value may have to be detailed.
