Whether you're purchasing your first home, re-mortgaging or simply reviewing your existing policy, we'll help you compare insurance options to find comprehensive protection at a competitive price.

What's the Difference Between Buildings and Contents Insurance?

Buildings insurance protects the structure of your home, including the walls, roof, windows, permanent fixtures and fitted kitchens or bathrooms. It's often a requirement if you're taking out a mortgage, as lenders want to ensure the property is protected against events such as fire, flooding or storm damage.

Contents insurance, on the other hand, covers the belongings inside your home, including furniture, electronics, clothing and other personal possessions. Depending on the policy you choose, you may also be able to include optional extras such as accidental damage, personal possessions cover away from home and high-value item protection.

Many homeowners choose to combine buildings and contents insurance into one policy, providing comprehensive protection while often benefiting from a more competitive premium. We'll help you compare the available options and choose the level of cover that's right for your home, your belongings and your budget.

Why Is Buildings Insurance Important When Buying a Home?

If you're purchasing a property with a mortgage, your lender will usually require buildings insurance to be in place from the date contracts are exchanged. This helps protect the property against unforeseen events such as fire, flooding, storms or structural damage while your mortgage is secured against it.

Choosing the right policy is about more than meeting your lender's requirements. Good-quality buildings and contents insurance can help protect you from significant financial costs if your home or belongings are damaged, lost or stolen.
