Home Insurance contents cover

Why do you need home contents insurance?

Personal possessions mean a lot. They may also have a high value in money terms – to replace them could be costly. It’s important to keep a record of how much this cost would be. Here is how you can start.

1. Make a list of your possessions by room, with highest value items first.
2. Update your records regularly, especially when valuable items are added.
3. Tell your insurance provider about these – your cover could be affected.

You may have to give details on the policy for high value items that you own. Remember too that there may be limits on any single item or claim you can make.
