What is home insurance?

Your home insurance quote checklist
You only need to answer a few simple questions for your personalised home insurance quote. If you’re getting buildings cover, this includes
Whether our assumptions are correct
To speed things up, we base our quotes on some basic assumptions, like the number of bedrooms in your property and that it’s not a mobile home.
Your claim history
You must tell us about any home insurance claims you or anyone to be insured have made in the last five years.
How much excess you’re willing to pay if you make a claim
A higher excess could mean a lower premium – decide how much you’d be comfortable paying if you needed to make a claim. If you’re getting contents cover, as well as the above, you’ll need to tell us.
Whether you need more or less than £15,000 cover for your contents
The level of contents cover you get depends on how much you have to insure – choose between £2,000 to £15,000, or enjoy unlimited cover.
