What is buildings insurance?
- It's a policy designed to cover your home's structure, fixtures and fittings against flooding, fire, subsidence, tree damage and other unforeseen events
- Often called 'bricks and mortar insurance', it covers the non-moveable parts of your home like fitted kitchens and bathrooms
- It's different to contents insurance which only covers your belongings but you can get a combined buildings and contents policy
- Landlords are not protected by standard buildings insurance and should consider a specialist landlords policy

I always use Confused.com for all my insurance needs, it is quick, so simple to use, covers all bases and gives you the best quotes. I like the fact that they remind you when your insurance is due for renewal and no other comparison web site comes anywhere near their professional site, I can't fault them! I save up to 50% compared to other online quotes, so top marks from me always!
