Get a competitive home insurance quote and save money with the top UK home insurance providers
House insurance typically includes either buildings insurance or contents insurance. Many house insurance providers will offer you a discount if you buy both buildings and contents insurance from them - as well as a discount for purchasing their house insurance online.
Of the two insurances typically associated with house insurance (or home insurance as it is also known), buildings insurance will typically cover the bricks and mortar of your home and cover you for fire and flood damage as well as, in the worst case scenario, the rebuilding cost of your home. Buildings insurance is a compulsory requirement if you have a mortgage on your home (but don't be brow beaten into buying your mortgage lender's buildings or house insurance).
The other form of house insurance is contents insurance. Contents insurance will cover the contents of your house such as your belongings and furniture against fire, theft (burglary) and flood damage as well as giving you the option to add extra cover such as accidental damage insurance and insurance cover for special or valuable items. Most people now buy their house insurance with buildings and contents cover combined. This is both cost effective and gives you the maximum house insurance cover possible.
The hardest part of getting a competitive or cheap house insurance quote is visiting all the websites or ringing all the phone numbers.
