Home and Contents Insurance

Home

Home Insurance covers your buildings or contents up to the sum insured, as listed on your schedule. Your sums insured will be increased by the amount the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased since you took out your policy, when your claim is paid. We recommend you regularly reassess your building sum insured so that you are covered for changes in value to your property after extensions or additions.
