Home Insurance FAQs
Do I need home insurance to get a mortgage?
Most lenders require you to have building insurance in place before completion to protect their financial interest in the property.
What’s the difference between buildings and contents insurance?
Buildings insurance covers the structure of your home (walls, roof, floors), while contents insurance covers your belongings inside the home.
Is accidental damage included?
Some policies include it; others require it as an optional add-on. We’ll explain what’s covered and help you decide if it’s worth including.
Do I need landlord insurance if I rent out my property?
Yes. A standard home insurance policy won’t cover rental properties. We can arrange specialist landlord insurance tailored to rental risks.
How much cover do I need?
Buildings cover should be based on the rebuild cost (not market value). Contents cover should reflect the replacement value of your possessions. We’ll help calculate the right amounts.
