How much do I need to insure my home for?

For contents insurance, you’ll need to know the total value of your contents and have details of any items you wish to specify, i.e. valuable items worth £1,500 or more with Value policies, £2,000 with Standard policies and £3,000 with Finest policies. To work out the value of your contents it’s a good idea to prepare a list for each room in your home and check the cost of expensive items , e.g. plasma TVs, home entertainment systems, home computers, bedroom furniture etc. Remember to include DVDs/CDs, books, kitchen equipment and utensils, etc.

If you do have specific valuable items over the limits above, you’ll need to give us a call to get these items covered. You can contact us on 0845 300 66 00, lines open 8am-8pm Monday to Friday, 9am -5pm Saturday and 10am -5pm Sunday.

Maximum call charge from a BT landline is 6p plus up to 4p per minute. Calls from other networks may vary.
