Cover for your buildings and contents
Starting from only £99, our Home Insurance protects both your home inside and out – covering your building and belongings. 10% of our customers have paid this price 1.
Buildings Insurance
We’ll cover the cost of repairing damage to the structure of your property caused by water damage, fire and more.
Contents Insurance
Cover if you’re burgled or something’s damaged in a fire, with no limit to the overall amount we’ll cover your contents for 2.
Alternative accommodation
We’ll arrange and pay for accommodation if your home is damaged and can’t be lived in 3.
Plus, you can tailor your policy to suit you with add-ons like accidental damage, legal services and bicycle cover. Or, if you only need either Buildings or Contents insurance, you can choose these separately.
Your Home Insurance stories
With every new claim, there’s a story to tell. Here are some examples of how we helped people get their homes back in order.
Home Insurance
After losing many sentimental belongings in a break-in, William wasn’t looking forward to the claims process. But we were there to help when he needed us. We quickly arranged for repairs to doors and windows and settled the claim for his stolen items with understanding and speed 4.
Accidental damage optional add-on
When the shark attacked Nemo, Julie’s granddaughter came to the rescue and threw a plate at the TV screen. Julie couldn’t find her policy documents but she looked up our number and gave us a call. We settled the replacement TV claim over the phone within a few minutes. We’re pretty sure Nemo escaped 5.
