Buildings insurance covers your property against structural damage. Buildings insurance is commonly combined with contents insurance so that both your property and belongings are covered under one policy.
Contents insurance protects your personal belongings in case they get damaged, lost or stolen. Imagine tipping your home on its head - everything that falls out and belongs to you is considered to be contents (like furniture and electronics), and everything which stays in its place is considered to be part of the building (like the flooring or the built-in-oven).
Buildings insurance covers the cost of rebuilding your house from the ground up. When you select the level of building cover that you need, it’s worth noting that it should be based on the rebuild value of your property, rather than the value you bought it for, or would sell it on for.
Urban Jungle’s buildings insurance covers the insured building (and outbuildings within 100m) against damage caused by fire, theft, vandalism, subsidence, landslips, storms, floods and escaped water or oil. It also covers alternative accommodation costs if your house becomes uninhabitable.
Buildings insurance is for homeowners. It covers your building and the structural parts of your home against damage. If you have a mortgage, you own your property outright, or are a sole freeholder this policy could be for you!
If you’re buying your property with a mortgage as a freeholder, your mortgage provider will usually require you to have your buildings insurance in place from the date of exchange. This is put in place to protect the loan and you may not be able to buy a property without buildings insurance.
If you own your property outright, buildings insurance is not compulsory and ultimately the decision is up to you whether you would like to take out a policy or not.
You won’t need buildings insurance if you’re renting a property as it will be up to your landlord to ensure they have a policy. If you are a tenant and would like to insure your belongings, check out our home contents insurance policy .
