What's covered?

House in chains 

You can choose buildings insurance, contents insurance, or both. 

Buildings insurance
As well as covering the structure of your home and fixtures and fittings, our buildings insurance also covers the cost of things like architects, surveyors and builders if you have to rebuild your home due to an insured peril. It also covers your liability as property owner up to a limit of £2,000,000.

Contents insurance
This covers pretty much everything from sofas to satellite dishes, wardrobes to washing machines – all the things you’d pack up and take with you if you moved.
