Do I get help with alternative accommodation following a fire?

Yes, you can get help with replacement accommodation if following a fire or other damage the place cannot be lived in.

Items are stolen during a home party. Does the insurance apply?

No, the insurance does not apply if someone who has been admitted or permitted to stay in your home steals things. The insurance only applies if someone has forced their way in or enters by force.

Does the insurance apply if the mobile is stolen from the car?

The mobile is considered to be property prone to theft, therefore the insurance does not apply whatever type of home insurance you have taken out.

Do I need home insurance when I live in a sub-let?

It doesn't matter if you are the first tenant or if you live in a sub-let. If you rent an apartment, you need a home insurance policy that applies to your personal belongings and items that you have rented or borrowed. However, it is not your responsibility to insure the apartment or the house. This is the responsibility of the owner of the property, not the individual renting it.

How does my insurance apply if I rent out my home?

You should have a home insurance policy of some form that applies to the rented home. What form of home insurance you should have depends on whether it is a tenancy or housing association, if you have any furniture and other items left in the home you are letting out.

  • If it is a housing association, you need home insurance with the housing association supplement.
  • Always make sure you have the landlord's or the housing association's permit to let the property. Otherwise, it might be illegal.
  • If you are letting out regularly or on a larger scale the rental can be termed a business activity and you will therefore need to take out a special insurance policy.
  • Contact us for assistance in arranging the right type of home insurance for the property to be let.

How does the insurance apply in the event of ID theft?

Home insurance includes cover for ID theft. It does not protect against someone stealing your identity, but you get help with the following:

  • Advice to prevent identity theft.
  • Assistance to limit the damage when ID theft has occurred.
  • Legal help to reject or correct any errors as a result of the ID theft.
