Home insurance can be taken any of three variations. Buildings only insurance. Contents only Insurance or a combined policy insuring both buildings and contents.
Buildings Insurance covers the structure to your home along with the internal fixtures and fittings. When taking out a mortgage lenders will insist that you have at least the buildings insured. You are not obliged to take buildings insurance with any particular insurer though your mortgage offer will confirm the cover level needs to be adequate and acceptable to the lender.
Contents Insurance covers the belongings within your home. There are additional levels of cover you can include within your policy to tailor it to your own specific needs and circumstances. Some such optional extras may be Personal Belongings away from home, Garden contents cover, Home emergency or Legal Cover. Each of these extras will cover a variety of risks and events so its worth ensuring you have the required cover levels in place.
Buildings and Contents Insurance Combined. This type of policy ensures both the buildings and all your possessions within it are insured. This policy can also include the variety of optional extras tailored to meet your specific insurance needs.
There are multiple factors which can impact your premiums such as, claims history, post code of your home, extras added to the policy, level of cover required, excess payable including excess for different types of claims, accidental damage add on to name but a few.
Speaking to an insurance specialist can ensure you have the right policy for your needs at a competitive price to suit your budget.
