Buildings Insurance
As the title suggests, building insurance covers your building's structure including its fixtures and fittings. Should your walls collapse, your house burn down, your roof cave in or any natural disaster occur then building insurance is what you need. Always read the small print to find out what is not covered.
Factors that will make your home contents insurance even cheaper.
1.Risk Assessment
Simple things like fitting proper door and window locks, alarm systems and / or security cameras (even if they are fake) will reduce your house insurance premium because you will not be considered as much of a risk to the insurance company.
2.Value your possessions correctly
Always make sure you value your house contents as accurately as possible as if you undervalue, you will probably lose more than the difference and between the actual value and the value stated to the insurer. For example, if your contents are worth £20,000 but you only insured them for £15,000 and you made a claim on a single item i.e. a £2000 television. Then the insurer may only issue a cheque for a proportional amount of the £15,000 stated in your evaluation of
total contents.
On the other hand, should you over value your premium will be extremely loaded.
