What do I need to get a quote?

Getting a home insurance quote normally takes about 8 minutes. But having the following at hand could speed things up:

Your property’s build date:  you can find the actual date in your mortgage survey or home buyer’s report

The date you bought your house or when you moved in.

Locks and alarms: Confused provide useful lock pictures to help you find which locks you have fitted.

Details and cost of any claims in the last five years: This’ll be stated in your renewal documents. Alternatively contact your previous insurer.

The rebuild cost of your house:  Confused will often fill this in for you. But you can also calculate it yourself, or hire a chartered surveyor to carry out an assessment.

The total cost of your personal belongings: If you don’t know this, you can use the Confused.com contents calculator.

The details of any items you wish to insure that are worth over £1,000.

Roof type: Which materials are used on your roof – such as asphalt shingle, tile, slate or thatched.

What does home insurance cover?

Home insurance falls into 3 categories – buildings, contents and combined buildings and contents insurance policies.

Buildings insurance covers the bricks and mortar of your home, and contents insurance covers your belongings. Typically, contents are anything you can pack up and take with you if you move home, such as furniture, clothes, and TVs.

Combined buildings and contents insurance policies can help reduce the cost of home insurance, but they’re usually only suitable if you own your home. They insure your property against damage, but also cover your belongings under the same insurance policy.

You can compare all three policy types through Confused.com.

You can also add optional extras to your policy, such as home emergency cover and legal cover – however, some providers might include these as standard. Accidental damage cover is another extra worth considering, as it covers unintentional one-off incidents that harm your property or its contents.

For example, putting your foot through the floor when you’re up in the loft, or spilling red wine on the carpet.
