Home Insurance to suit your home and lifestyle.

Choose from a range of extra options that gives you the choice and flexibility to build the right level of cover to protect your home, possessions and lifestyle.

How it works:

Choose the core cover required.

Core Buildings - covered up to £400,000 as standard
Core Contents - covered up to £50,000 as standard
Or Both - Combine Core Buildings & Contents for maximum protection.

Then choose the extra cover options to suit your home and lifestyle:-

Technology and Entertainment* - Electrical items like TVs, cameras and computers are covered against accidental damage and loss, both inside and outside your home.
Accidental Damage - You can add accidental damage cover to your core cover. And because this doesn't include items covered by other packages you won't pay to insure the same things twice.
Personal Items* - From your glasses to cash or your pedal cycle, make sure you have enough cover for all your personal items whether you're at home or out and about.
Garden* - Protect your plants, garden, furniture, lawns and tools. You can even have your garden re-landscaped should emergency services ever damage it.
Home Emergency - 24/7 Home Emergency assistance, help and advice which includes cover for loss of heating, emergency roof repairs and securing broken windows or doors.
Legal Expenses - Access to a wide range of legal solutions, including professional mediation and consumer protection.
