What is buildings and contents insurance?
In a nutshell, buildings and contents insurance protects your property and the things in it from damage or theft. If your home or possessions are damaged by fire, extreme weather, water or something else, the insurance will pay out, enabling you to fund the necessary repairs. Likewise, if your valuable are stolen, the insurance will pay for their replacement. Looking for a building and contents product that suits you? We’re here to take the hassle of the search off your shoulders! Contact our team today!
Why do I need buildings insurance when taking out a mortgage?
Buildings insurance is normally a condition of any mortgage. This is because the lender will want to know that the property securing their loan is safe from risk. If your property is damaged by fire or weather and you don’t have cover, you will face repair or rebuild costs yourself. This may mean you can no longer afford to keep up with mortgage repayments. If you fail to meet repayments, the repossession and sale of the property will enable the lender to recoup their losses. But damage is undoubtably going to have an impact on its value, making this protection uncertain from the lender’s perspective.

Do I have to insure the contents of my home for my mortgage conditions?
No, contents insurance is optional when it comes to mortgage conditions, but it’s still worth considering. Often, the same insurer can provide multi discounts, making it more affordable than you think to get comprehensive cover. Think about it carefully; if all your valuables were damaged or stolen, could you afford to replace them? For many people, this would put serious pressure on their finances. Our insurance specialists can go through the options available and identify a policy that suits your needs – get in touch with us!
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m purchasing a Buy to Let; do I need contents insurance?
No. Whilst you will need buildings insurance, the contents of the building are the responsibility of the tenant. However, that’s not to say it isn’t a good idea to get contents insurance or a combined, multi discount policy. Doing so may provide you with greater protection as a landlord if the tenant cannot afford to replace your items. Talk to us today about the best option for your Buy to Let!
I’ve been declined insurance due to the type of property. What do I do?
Non standard and unusual property types can unfortunately lead to refusal from certain insurers. The good news is that there are specialist home insurance providers who are dedicated to providing cover for unusual properties. These policies can be pricier, however, so it’s important to get a quote and fully evaluate the terms before making any decisions. Advice and guidance from a qualified insurance broker will support you throughout the process, enabling you to make the most appropriate choice.
How do I know how much buildings cover I need?
It’s important to make sure the insurance policy you take our will be sufficient to cover the rebuild and repair costs of your property. The rebuild cost is the amount needed to completely rebuild your home from the ground up if it was totally destroyed, including labour and materials. Basing a policy on this worst-case-scenario figure is likely to be your best option, as this will ensure you have sufficient protection, but also prevent you from paying higher premiums than necessary. Some home insurance providers also provide unlimited cover as standard.

What Our customers say about us
Our Customers rank us 4.6 out of 5
We feel so fortunate to have found WTBSN
We found WTBSN after landing in a really tricky situation. We were out of term on our current mortgage and our existing broker had exhausted all options to re-mortgage due to the complex nature of our holiday let property (Grade II listed, timber frame construction and above commercial). Working under considerable time pressure due to the financial penalties being imposed by the existing lender, Brian was relentless in his search for a solution that would allow us to refinance a property that was on face value mortgageable. Thankfully, he didn’t give up and nine months later, we completed on the re-finance. We feel so fortunate to have found WTBSN and would like to thank Brian and the team sincerely for going the extra mile. We couldn’t have done it without you!
