Home Insurance
Quick overview

It covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your home and replacing what's inside after fire, theft, storms, floods, or accidental damage. Cover works for owners and tenants alike.

Why it matters

Your Biggest Investment, Protected

Your home is likely your largest asset. Cover means a fire, burst pipe, break-in, or storm doesn't fall on your savings.

The building and everything in it

Your home is the structure, the furniture and electronics inside, and the belongings gathered over years. One policy protects all of it, whether you own or rent.

Set on rebuilding cost

Cover is based on what it would cost to rebuild the structure and replace the contents today — not the market price of the house or the land.

Who it's for

Who this cover is for

  • Homeowners
  • Landlords renting out property
  • Tenants insuring their own contents
  • Apartment and gated-community residents

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The essentials on home insurance — what it covers, what you'll need, and how claims work. More on the FAQ page.

See all FAQs
Does home insurance cover the land my house sits on?

No — cover is based on rebuild cost, not land value, since land itself can't be destroyed.

Can I insure just my contents if I rent?

Yes. Tenants can take contents-only cover without insuring the building structure.

Is accidental damage covered?

Standard policies cover fire, theft, and weather; accidental damage can be added as an extension.

Flexible cover

Cover matched to your home

Own or rent, house or apartment, standard contents or high-value items — the policy should fit. Our advisors set the building and contents sums insured and add the extensions you need.
