Whether you're looking for buildings insurance, contents insurance,
or a combined buildings and contents policy, our service makes it easy
to find the product that you want for your home with the cover options
you need.
You'll also see the latest information from independent financial
researcher Defaqto to ensure you know exactly what you're getting from
your purchase.
Our simple-to-use forms will ask for your basic personal details,
plus information on the house to be insured, the people living there,
the ownership status, claims history, whether any occupants smoke, and
if the property is left unoccupied.
There'll be help text at every step on the journey, but be ready for
questions on the approximate age of the property, wall and roof
construction, whether it's a listed building, its distance from water
and if it's used for business.
Insurers will also need to know if the property's for sale or is
undergoing building work, if it's in a good state of repair, whether
there's central heating, if it's self-contained, whether there are
extensions, garages or outbuildings, and if there's ever been evidence
of subsidence, landslip, heave or tree damage.
Customers sometimes struggle when they're asked the types of locks
that are used on external entry points. Those seeking contents cover
will need to estimate the value of their contents, while those who
require buildings cover have to estimate their home's market value and
property rebuild cost.
