What is Home & Contents Insurance?
Home insurance can protect you from financial risk if your home is damaged or destroyed, and can also cover your homes contents if they are damaged, lost or stolen. You can take out cover for specific listed events only or for wider accidental cover, depending on your needs.
Why do I need it?
If your home and its contents were damaged or destroyed in a natural disaster or accident, or all your valuables were stolen, could you afford to replace them?If not, we are here to help. Home and contents insurance can even protect you against legal liability if someone is injured or killed on your property.
"Residential property worth up to $63 billion is at risk (from climate change) - and we believe this is likely to be an underestimate."
