Here are some questions we are frequently asked about our Lloyds Bank Home Insurance (HAP) policy.
We recognise that everyone's home insurance needs are different. That’s why we offer two levels of cover for you to choose from: Lloyds Bank Home Insurance – a tailored, flexible offering, and Lloyds Bank Home Insurance Premier – a more inclusive offering where additional cover and higher limits are included as standard.
Back to topBuildings insurance covers the structure of your home including the permanent fixtures, fittings and services. This consists of the buildings of your private residence, and your outbuildings if Outbuildings Cover is selected.
Covers available under buildings insurance are:
Contents insurance covers household goods including garden machinery, high risk items and personal effects (items of a personal nature such as clothing and wheelchairs) all owned by you, your family and resident domestic staff or for which you or your family are legally responsible.

Where we agree to pay for the cost of replacements we'll do so on a 'new for old' basis, if available. If not available we'll pay for the nearest equivalent, less any discounts obtainable.
If an item is irreplaceable, we will base our payment on expert opinion of its value immediately prior to its loss or damage.

Computer equipment in the home individually worth more than £3,000:

Please note:
Computer equipment covered under Specified Items Cover, Personal belongings away from the home cover and Students’ contents away from home cover will automatically be covered for accidental damage.

Back to topAn excess is the amount that you contribute towards the cost of a claim. For example, if you have storm damage to your roof that will cost £1,000 to repair and your policy has an excess of £100, you’ll be asked to pay the excess of £100 but can claim for £900 (the cost minus the excess). The excesses that apply to your policy will vary, depending on the covers you’ve selected and the excess amounts you’ve chosen.
Back to topWhen you purchase a home insurance policy we'll ask if you'd prefer to pay monthly or annually.
If you choose to pay monthly
You'll be able to select which day of the month you'd prefer to make your monthly payment on. Full details of when your monthly payments are due and the amount of each payment will be contained in your credit agreement.
If you choose to pay annually
If you are paying by debit or credit card, the payment will be taken immediately.
If you are paying by annual direct debit, we will take the payment, either on the start date of the policy or 14 days after you set the policy up, whichever is later.
Back to topBy 'paid claim' we mean any occasion when you've received a payment, had damage repaired or a damaged item repaired or replaced as part of a home insurance claim.
