Every little bit helps when looking for the best and cheapest insurance package:

One of the most significant factors that can affect the price of your insurance premium is how you maintain your house:

  • By fitting your home with more advanced heating, electrical, plumbing and security systems, you increase your chances of being offered cheaper premiums.
  • By ensuring you do everything you can to ensure that your home is safeguarded, such as installing smoke and burglar alarm systems, also increase your chances of securing cheaper premiums.
  • Insurers will also offer a discount for homeowners with a claims-free history. If you maintain a claims-free record for a specified number of years, you will be offered a no-claims discount each year when you renew your policy.
  • Don’t be shy about asking insurers for any additional discounts available, and making sure that you qualify for any other discount that is going.

The financial problems created by random accidents and perils will not force you out of your home permanently. Most policies in Ireland cover you and your family if your home becomes inhabitable due to an insured event.

Each policy is different, but standard policies usually provide:

  • Damage to your house and any permanent structures on your property.
  • Damage to your personal property due to causes specified in your policy.
  • Limited cover for items like stolen jewellery, watches or missing stones from rings etc. Cover amounts vary depending on your policy, insurer and whether you have noted individual items under the all risks section.
  • House Insurance covers your house and contents (furniture, carpets, appliances, TV, ornaments, etc) as well as your personal effects (clothing, other articles likely to be worn or carried, sports equipment, bicycles, etc).
  • Protects the bricks and mortar of your home
  • Financial protection in the event of natural disasters such as fire, water damage, storm, earthquake, lightning and vandalism.

Important Cover Extensions worth noting on your Home Insurance

Home Insurance definitions

Buildings Insurance

The buildings of your house are noted on your house policy schedule. This includes the house itself plus your garage, detached or attached, garden shed and boundary wall or fences and gates. It is important to ensure that your sums insured are correct. We recommend the use of the rebuild guide that is maintained by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland.

Home Insurance Calculator

We also have a rebuild calculator as part of our online quotation process. You will need to know the size of your house – either in square feet or square meters – before using the calculator.

Contents Insurance

In simple terms when you buy or sell your house , "buildings" are the brick and mortar, fixtures and fittings i.e the things you can't move - the things essentially, you can't take with you to your new home. It follows that everything that you can actually remove or take to your your new home is "contents" e.g furniture, curtins etc.

Ensure You Compare Home Insurance

And that means comparing what various providers in Ireland are offering. In the event of unexpected theft or damage to your property, having insurance will offer you much needed financial assistance. It can be quite tricky trying to navigate your way alone among the different providers.

And that’s where QuoteMe.ie comes in – by allowing you to compare policy features, benefits and premiums offered by number of Insurance Companies operating in Ireland, all of them regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
