Home Insurance

Home Insurance basics

Home or household insurance is designed to protect and cover against the possible risks you may encounter if you're a homeowner. It is split into 2 main categories, buildings insurance and contents insurance.
Buildings insurance covers the structure of your building in the event of natural disasters and possibly other accidental damage (a burst water pipe for instance). Almost all mortgage lenders require that you take out Buildings insurance on your property as part of their terms of contract.
Contents insurance provides cover for the possessions in your home should they be stolen or accidentally damaged. If you consider how much it would cost to replace the contents of your home and the time you've spent on furnishing it, you will see that contents insurance is a worthy investment.
