What is property insurance?

  • It could protect your property from harm caused by fires, floods and theft
  • You can get separate buildings and contents protection or a combined policy
  • Buildings cover insures your property's bricks and mortar
  • Contents cover is designed to protect your possessions
  • You could get optional add-ons to cover you against accidental damage and home emergencies

Try reading our guide to property insurance if you'd like more details.

Why compare property insurance with Confused.com?

Buying a home is likely to be the biggest investment you'll ever make, so it's sensible to consider protecting yourself financially in case you're the victim of a burglary or disaster.

  • Most mortgage lenders insist you have buildings insurance to protect their investment
  • Contents insurance is optional but if you suffer a loss, you could end up out of pocket

To help you get a quote you'll need to know the rebuild cost of your property and the total worth of your contents. You might find our guides to calculating your property's contents and rebuild cost useful.

Why do I need property insurance?

Accidents, theft and storm damage are some of the most common claims on a home insurance policy. You could protect yourself against all of these problems with property insurance.

Improving your home security could deter thieves and help get you a cheaper premium. You might find our guides to burglar alarms and fitting the correct locks useful.

It's also important to carry out regular home maintenance checks, otherwise your insurer could refuse to pay out on any claims for weather damage. Our maintenance checklist might help with this task.

Please remember to always check your policy's small print to see exactly what events you're covered for. It's not always wise to choose the cheapest option, it's more important to get the right level of cover for your needs.
