Home insurance - UK terms
When referring to home insurance, UK companies can use several terms. There are really only two types of cover: one for the building or fabric of your home; and contents insurance for your belongings.
If you see the terms 'house' or 'buildings', UK firms usually use them to describe insurance for the bricks and mortar of your home. This cover may also cover windows, doors, external fittings and perhaps outbuildings, garages, garden walls and fences. It protects you against accidental damage, fire, flood and storms.
Contents insurance is the term most often used to describe insurance that protects your belongings like clothes, furniture, TVs etc. This should cover you against theft, fire or accidental damage. When you see 'home insurance', UK firms often use this to describe both contents and buildings insurance together.
