About Your Contents Insurance Cover
Contents insurance serves one purpose: to protect the belongings within your home – all those items that make your home feel like yours. This includes, but is not limited to, furniture, computers, jewellery, and clothing.
Consider this: In the unfortunate event of losing all your possessions in a fire or flood for example, it would be a costly exercise to replace them.
Unlike buildings insurance, your mortgage provider won’t have a mandatory requirement for you to have contents insurance, but it’s a good idea to ensure the important things in your home are protected.
To determine the right amount of cover for your contents cover, simply calculate the total value of belongings in each room in your home.
To guard against the risk of being underinsured, many policies offer blanket coverage.
At Intelligent Insurance we provide up to £100,000 as standard coverage for Contents Insurance.
Contents insurance cover provides:
- Up to £100,000 cover
- New for old cover
- Basic Home Emergency cover included free
