What is contents insurance?
Contents insurance covers the cost of replacing the things you love if they’re damaged, lost or stolen. This includes your jewellery, TV, laptop, artworks, sporting equipment and other valuables.
If you’re unsure whether something falls under home or contents insurance, then imagine if your house tipped upside down. Items that fall out such as jewellery, laptops, mobile phones and carpets are generally covered by contents insurance.
Generally, home insurance covers what is fixed to the building, such as walls, windows and the ceiling.
Watch our video, Contents Insurance 101, to understand the importance of getting the right amount of contents insurance.
