The numbers don’t lie; our prices are the most affordable, but what exactly do we cover?
Buildings Insurance covers:
- The structures (walls, roof, garage, driveway, fences, shed) on your property
- Permanent fixtures and fittings (bathroom and kitchen fittings) in your home.
- Repairs and partial or complete rebuilds after a disaster. Disasters covered usually include storms, floods, subsidence (ground sinking), fire and vandalism.
Mortgage providers usually require buildings cover. So you’ll need it either as part of a combined policy (for homeowners) or as a standalone policy (for landlords).
Contents Insurance covers:
- All items on the property, including garden furniture, clothes, jewellery, DVDs, CDs, books, computers, appliances, bicycles, money in the home,
- Any tools in the garage or shed and even freezer contents.
Contents-only policies are good for tenants who don’t have to worry about the structure of the house or flat they live in.
