Understanding Home Contents Insurance Home contents insurance generally covers everything that belongs to you and that is movable. This could include all your personal effects, valuables, household goods and freezer contents. It covers everything that is within the building/structure and normally extends to any external parts of the property such as your shed, garage, pool area or greenhouse. Most contents policies will cover loss or accidental damage to your possessions whilst they are in your home. The loss and damage could be caused by risks such as theft, fire, storm and flooding. Other risks could be the escape of water from tanks and pipes, leaking oil from heating systems, storms, subsidence, heave, landslip or rare occurrences like falling trees or aerials, explosions, earthquakes, even an impact by an aircraft. Your insurance policy could cover a specified replacement value or just replacing the damaged or stolen property from your home with a new item of the same type. Remember to take a complete inventory of all your business property. You can take out contents insurance whether you're an owner-occupier or a tenant. Tenants often take cover since they can be held responsible for accidental damage to their landlords' property. You could include public legal liability insurance. So, should someone who visits your home and were to trip over something you own and injure themselves, they could make a claim against you. These claims can be for a considerable amount. Most insurance policies offer legal liability as part of your home and contents policy. This insurance protects you from somebody suing you if they are injured when visiting your home. If you want to make sure that your valuables are covered, you'll need to make special mention of them when you buy your homeowners insurance. For getting reduced premiums you could raise your excess or deductibles. You get discounts for homes by improving your home security with burglar alarms, smoke detectors, and fire extinguishers. Plus, there are often larger discounts for homes with third party monitoring devices. Always get the best possible protection for the amount you pay.
