About Your Buildings Insurance Cover

Buildings Insurance Cover is designed to protect the physical structure of your home, including walls, roofs, and permanent fixtures. It’s crucial for safeguarding your property against unforeseen damages and disasters.

Your home is unique, and so are its insurance needs. Our Buildings Insurance Cover is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s a personalised approach to protect your home.

We understand that every property, from a city center apartment to a rural cottage, has its distinct characteristics and risks. That’s why our coverage is designed to be flexible and adaptable to your specific situation.

While the fundamental purpose of Buildings Insurance is to protect the structure of your home, our cover goes beyond the basics. We focus on comprehensive protection that addresses not just the common risks but also those often overlooked aspects of home ownership*.

  • Structural Integrity: Our policy extends to cover structural elements of your home like foundations, ceilings, and even outbuildings, ensuring that every part of your property is safeguarded against potential risks.
  • Renovation and Repair: If you're planning renovations or need to undertake repairs, our cover provides peace of mind that your investment is protected during these processes.
  • Historical and Architectural Elements: For homes with historical significance or unique architectural features, our policy takes into account the additional value and costs associated with these elements.
  • All property types and personal circumstances considered
