What does the policy protect?
Home insurance generally protects two main components of the property.
Building coverage
This protects the physical structure of the property, including elements such as:
- walls
- roof
- floors
- electrical installations
- plumbing systems
- built-in structures
This coverage is usually based on the reconstruction value of the property, not the market value.
Contents coverage
This protects the belongings inside the property, such as:
- furniture
- appliances
- electronics
- personal belongings
- household items
Coverage is typically based on the declared value of the contents.
