Buildings Insurance Basic Home Buildings insurance usually covers all the structures of your property and unmovable fittings. Normally all outbuildings are covered within your policy but it is best to check these details when you take out the policy as different companies do offer different levels of cover. The cheapest is not always the best path to follow. |  |

You should always read your policy thoroughly to check what is covered and what is not. Contents Insurance Basic Home Contents insurance usually covers all household goods, furniture, furnishings and moveable equipment that you own or are responsible for. Anything that is an unmovable fixture or fitting is usually covered by your buildings insurance. You should always read your policy to check what is covered under the basic contents insurance cover. All contents policies have what are known as additional cover inner limits. These are monetary limits that the insurance companies impose on certain components of the basic cover. For example if your house flooded you may need to stay in a hotel and the cost of this is covered under the Alternative Accommodation component of the policy. Equally a contents insurance policy may set a limit to damage to your satellite dish for example. You should always check what the limits are for certain cover components. These covers vary from insurance company to insurance company. You may want to take out an accidental damage to your contents extension. Also known as all risks cover, this covers your contents property against accidents and is not usually included in basic contents insurance policies. Another add on you may want to consider is the personal possessions cover. this cover your personal property such as clothing or bags when you are away from your home. This contents cover usually has a basic level of cover that can be raised for a small extra premium. You can reduce the level of your contents premium by paying what is known as a contents insurance voluntary excess. This is the amount that you agree you are prepared to pay in the event of a claim. This cuts the cost of small claims and the insurance company allows a bigger discount to the contents insurance premium for more voluntary excess. You should always check if there is a compulsory excess in the event of any contents insurance claim. Many Insurance companies have set a nominal excess of £100. Please Note
