A building contents insurance policy pays for damage or loss of personal possessions, which are located inside the client’s home. There are various types of contents insurance policies. Some good policies also provide restricted cover for personal possessions temporarily placed away from the home by the customer. Some other contents policies also include possessions kept just outside the home, like in the porch or in the garden area attached to the house.

In a contents insurance policy, possessions are considered to be anything that is not permanently attached to the home. Some possessions permanently attached to the structure of the home can only be insured by home insurance.

Home insurance is a type of insurance that covers private homes. A home insurance policy combines various personal insurance protections, which can include losses occurring to the policyholder’s home or its contents. Insurance companies usually sell contents insurance with home insurance, but in some cases the customer buys them as separate policies. This is usually the case for people who are renting a home.

The cost of building insurance varies. It all depends on what it would cost to replace the house and this is greatly affected by where the house is located, as well as which additional items are included within the cover.

The insurance policy is a lengthy contract and names all the things that are both covered and not covered in the case of any damage or loss. Claims due to floods or termites are often not included in the contents insurance policy.

Building contents insurance covers accidental damage to fixed glass, which includes windows, shower screens and sanitary fixtures. If such a situation arises, the insurance company pays the client an amount of money up to the buildings sum insured. It also covers accidental damage to underground services, including pipes, septic tanks and drain covers. If some damage occurs the insurance company has to pay up to the buildings sum insured and in cases where the building is not habitable, the insurance company has to provide alternative accommodation for the client, his family and pets. Building or contents insurance also covers damage to the property by the emergency services and if such a situation should occur the company pays up to the buildings sum insured.

In addition, there are some special student contents insurance policies available.
