Is Bradford and Bingley home insurance right for you?

Home Insurance is a non-compulsory form of property insurance which is designed to protect against damage to your property or to the belongings within your home.

What can be insured?

Home insurance can be very basic or cover a lot more depending on your provider and what polices you take out. The two main types are:

Building Cover

This covers the actual structure of the building. The walls, windows, floor and roof and will also include permanent features such as the kitchen and bathroom set. Policies do vary but this kind of cover will normally insure your property against flooding, burst pipes, theft, fires and weather damage.

Extra cover can normally be added if you need and many people like to also take out accidental damage cover, giving well-rounded protection for your home.

Contents Cover

Most families will have contents in their property valuing over £20,000. Many families have a great deal more. The idea of replacing these items due to flooding, theft, leakage, natural disasters is a worrying thought for many.

Contents insurance removes this worry. It will normally cover everything from jewellery to carpets, curtains, and electronic devices. Always read your policy carefully because every insurer will have a limit on what they are willing to pay out, so make sure your policy is adequate to cover what you need it to.

You can usually get these two types of cover as a joint policy from one insurance company or you can buy both types of insurance independently.
