Frequently Asked Questions

Is Buildings Insurance a condition of my mortgage?

Yes. Mortgage lenders require you to have Buildings Insurance in place before releasing the funds and require you maintain cover for the term of your mortgage. This protects both you and the lender’s investment in the property against risks such as fire, flood, or storm damage. Contents Insurance is not usually a requirement, but it is strongly recommended to protect your personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and valuables.

Buildings Insurance typically covers damage to the structure of your home caused by events such as fire, storm, flood, lightning, or subsidence. It can also include damage from burst pipes or other accidental events, depending on the policy. We’ll help you check your coverage so you know exactly what’s included.

Many policies offer optional accidental damage cover for both the building and contents. This can cover incidents like spills, breakages or damage caused by children or pets. We’ll explain what’s included in each policy and help you decide if adding accidental damage cover makes sense for you.
