Home insurance (or house insurance cover) financially protects your home. It can help you and your family if you experience events like theft, fire and floods.
Home insurance has two parts:
Buildings insurance covers the bricks and mortar, contents insurance covers your belongings. You can combine both.

Combined home insurance, often called home insurance, includes both buildings and contents cover on one policy. It's usually cheaper than buying buildings and contents separately.
Buildings insurance covers the repair costs for damage to a home's structure and fittings. It also protects garages, outbuildings and anything else that's permanently fixed. It's designed to cover against damage caused by natural and manmade disasters. It's good for freeholders and is usually the bare minimum cover.
Contents insurance protects the belongings inside your home from theft, vandalism, fire and water damage. It’s usually the right option if you live in a flat or are a leaseholder.
