Your home and its contents are likely to be the biggest assets that you own. So, it’s vital that you put the right cover in place to protect not only the bricks and mortar, but also your valuable possessions.
The right buildings insurance is also a condition of any mortgage taken on a property, and ideally should be in place by exchange of contracts.
Severe storms and flooding across the UK over the last couple of years have shown the importance of comprehensive cover.
The Met Office say that 2020 was the fifth wettest on record as Storms Ciara and Dennis hit the UK, with Which? reporting that damage from storms (42%) and flooding (18%) were two of the most common reasons for weather-related home insurance claims. The average storm-related claim was valued at £3,500.

Buy-to-let and landlords insurance
If you own a buy-to-let property, or you’re a landlord with a portfolio of properties, then it’s vital to protect your investment.
Undertaking repairs to the building could leave you out of pocket – not just for the cost of work, but also the lost rental income while your property is empty.
Our partnership with Uinsure can help you get the right cover at the right price.
You’ll benefit from:
- Cover for loss or damage to your buildings or contents caused by certain events such as fire, storm, flood, theft, escape of water, impact, subsidence, malicious damage and vandalism.
- Up to 20% of your maximum claim limit to pay for temporary accommodation for your tenants, or to cover the loss of rent, if your property is uninhabitable following an insured event.
- Accidental breakage of fixed glass, ceramic hobs, and sanitary ware.
This is just a flavour of the comprehensive protection provided through Uinsure – read their information document to find out more.
You can also choose to add optional cover, such as accidental damage to the buildings or contents, or malicious damage caused by the tenants to the buildings or your contents.
Legal cover is also available. This can help you meet the costs of pursuing legal action against a tenant where they fail to perform their obligations under the tenancy agreement or when they, for example, cause physical damage to your property.
