Cover at a glance

Buildings

Covers the structure of your home—including walls, roof, floors, and permanent fixtures—against insured events such as fire, storm, flood, and subsidence where included in your policy.

Contents

Protects furniture, electronics, clothing, and personal belongings inside your home. Cover extends to items temporarily removed from the property within UK limits stated in your schedule.

Optional cover

Add accidental damage, legal expenses, bicycle cover away from home, or higher-value item limits. Select only the extras that reflect how you live—no unnecessary add-ons.

Claims

Report incidents online or by phone at any time. Track claim progress in your dashboard, upload photos and documents securely, and receive updates from a dedicated claims handler.

Before you buy

Home insurance is arranged through Lloyd Merchant Bank Insurance Services. Cover is subject to underwriting criteria, policy terms, and accurate information about your property and contents.

If you have a mortgage, your lender may require buildings insurance as a condition of the loan. We can help align your policy with those requirements and provide certificates of insurance on request.
