Home and Contents Insurance
It’s natural to want to ensure that your home, along with everything in it, is protected should there be a fire, storm, flood, subsidence or break in. But everyone’s property is different. Some are modern houses, some are old cottages and each is home to a very unique collection of belongings. That’s why our Home and Contents Insurance offers a choice of cover to make sure there’s one that suits you.
How Home and Contents Insurance works for you
Underwritten by Legal and General Insurance Limited, our Home and Contents Insurance is flexible because it offers you three different levels of cover. There’s Bronze for first time buyers or customers with fewer possessions. Then there’s Silver with a higher level of cover for growing families and people with business equipment. And for those who want up to £60,000 worth of cover plus other valuable extras, there’s Gold.
Exclusions and excesses apply. Please see the Exclusions and Excesses sections for more information.
- Bronze - for extra value: Bronze offers real value for money; £20,000 fixed contents cover including £5,000 of cover for valuables. For first time buyers or younger couples, you may prefer a policy that covers you for what you have now, not what you'll have in the future.
- Silver - for extra cover: Silver includes £35,000 of fixed contents cover, including £8,750 for valuables and £5,000 for business equipment. Once your family is getting settled, you may need more high value item cover.
- Gold - for the most wide ranging cover: Gold provides the flexibility to select the level of contents cover you need, from anything between £35,000 and £60,000. Valuables cover equivalent to 25% of your contents cover and £8,000 for business equipment is also included.
