House Insurance – Cover Options
Buildings and Contents Cover
As the name suggests, this is cover for both your buildings typically covering the main building as well as domestic outbuildings, patios etc. and the contents of your home and domestic outbuildings like personal belongings, valuables and household goods.
As a result, this is the most popular type of house insurance.
Contents Cover
Contents cover only covers the contents of your house and domestic outbuildings and not the actual buildings.
For instance, this type of cover is popular with renters.
Buildings Cover
Buildings cover only covers the domestic buildings of your property and not the contents of such buildings.
As a result, you must also take out contents cover for the contents of your domestic buildings.
