Building and contents insurance offers the home owner and their family peace of mind against unforeseeable events. Understanding what type of insurance and level of cover is right for your property and its contents can be complex and of course you want to ensure you get the best policy at a price to suit your budget.
Buildings insurance is not a legal requirement but most mortgage providers will make it a condition that you are insured before they lend to you. It covers for unexpected events that might occur, such as fire, water damage, subsidence or explosions. Buildings insurance will protect your roof, walls, outbuildings and fixtures and fittings. The cost of your insurance will be based on variables such as the age of your property, the number of rooms, the type of construction, where you live and past claims. Our team of experts will be able to research the market to ensure you get the best cover for you and your property.
Contents insurance covers all the items within your property against loss, damage or theft., These belongings include furniture, electricals, curtains, carpets, jewellery, clothing, laptops, desktop computers, mobiles, tablets and works of art. Our advisors can help you find the right cover to protect your treasured possessions.
There are two types of contents insurance – ‘new for old’ policies and ‘wear and tear’ policies. ‘New for old’ policies will offer the full cost of repair or replacement of damaged or destroyed items whereas the cheaper ‘wear and tear’ policies will repair damaged goods with a reduction for depreciation.
