Buildings insurance

With unlimited buildings cover, we'll pay to repair the structure of your property. This includes anything fixed to it or the ground, like kitchen units or a bathroom suite.

We’ll pay to put these things right if they get damaged by something covered by your policy, like a fire, storm or flood.

Contents insurance

We’ll cover the cost of repairing or replacing the contents in your home. This includes the furniture in your living room or the white goods in your kitchen.

We’ll pay to repair or replace these items if they get lost, stolen, or damaged by something covered by your policy.

You can choose between two levels of contents cover:

  • up to £50,000, or
  • over £50,000.

Contents insurance for renters

If you’re renting your home, you can take out insurance for your contents. This will also protect you against some damage to your landlord’s property.
