WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPERTY, HOME, AND BUILDINGS INSURANCE?

Firstly, Home insurance is one of the many types of property insurance that you can take out cover for and is designed specifically for homeowners. Home insurance is designed to protect the people living in it. 

Secondly, Buildings Insurance is a type of Insurance that covers the physical fabric of a building such as windows, roof and garage. 

Lastly, Property Insurance covers a number of specialised insurances including both home insurance and buildings insurance.

If you have a slightly more unique situation such as multiple properties on the same deeds. For example if you work from home or have an annex which is let out to guests, please visit our Speciality Home Insurance page.

For property including listed buildings, religious buildings or places of interest, please visit our Heritage & Religious Buildings Insurance.

DO I NEED PROPERTY INSURANCE?

It is not a legal requirement but is seen as a top priority for property owners. Also, it is often set out as a condition by banks who may lend money against it (i.e a property with a mortgage). Despite this,  If you are a Landlord, for instance, it is your responsibility to protect your property, not your tenants’. It is important to purchase a policy so that you can protect yours from fire, theft and damage caused to it by water, natural events such as storms and vandalism.

A property is often one of the largest assets a person or business may own. Meaning it can be costly to repair should anything happen to it. Most damage is out of your control, so it is therefore highly recommended that you take out insurance to avoid large, unexpected costs and protect your asset.
