Home Insurance

Home insurance comes in many forms but it basically falls in to three categories:

Which of these you need will likely depend on your living arrangements. If you own your own home, you will usually need buildings and contents insurance – indeed, having buildings insurance is usually a requirement for getting a mortgage. If you are renting you will likely only need contents insurance as you landlord is responsible for insuring the building.

It’s worth noting that some properties, such as listed buildings or buildings with thatched roofs, may require specialist cover and therefore, would not be covered by a standard policy.

Make sure you always read the fine print of policies as more and more companies are now excluding certain things which you may need and it is good to be aware of extra charges, such as compulsory excesses, exit charges and interest on monthly payments which some companies do charge.

What is an excess?

Most insurance policies require you to pay a fixed sum known as an “excess” when you make a claim. In general, the higher your excess, the lower your monthly premiums and and the fewer restrictions they are upon making a claim

An example of how excess works: if you have a claim worth £300 and you have a £50 excess, you’ll only receive £250 from your provider.

Generally, there are two kinds of excess: a compulsory excess and a voluntary excess. A compulsory excess is set by your insurer whereas a voluntary excess is set by you. Choosing a higher voluntary excess will make your monthly premiums cheaper, but will cost you more if you do need to make a claim.
