Standard Household Insurance

It may seem a stupid question, but what exactly is Standard Household Insurance? After all people’s homes vary greatly, so just what is Standard Household Insurance?

Standard Household Insurance tends to refer to the fact that it fits within the insurers definition of what a 'Standard' home is and the building fits within the definition of 'standard construction', that is, your home is made of brick, stone or concrete and the roof is tiled, slate, asphalt, metal or concrete (with the roof having a maximum of 25% being flat).

Standard Household Insurance also relies on the fact that it is someone’s main residence and will be occupied at some point during the day. Most Standard Household policies will stipulate a limit of consecutive days a property can be left unoccupied for, for example 30 or 60 days. So, if you know the property is going be unoccupied for longer than this or is a holiday home you might want to find a policy more suitable for these, such as our InsuraHome Unoccupied, UK Holiday Home or European Holiday Home Insurance products.

Similarly, if the property you are looking to insure is a buy-to-let then you may find that our Insurahome Landlord’s policy is more suitable for your needs.

Do I need Buildings or Contents Insurance or both?

Home insurance is commonly split into distinct types. Buildings Insurance covers damage to the structure and fittings of the building.

Contents Insurance protects the items inside the home. Contents cover includes everything you would pack up if you were moving, so TVs, cutlery and crockery, furniture are all examples of contents. Fitted kitchens, sinks etc are examples of what would be protected under buildings

A buildings and contents policy would cover both of these under one policy.

Be aware that there some common quirks with Home Insurance, for example, damage caused by tv aerials or satellite dishes would be covered under a buildings policy, but the actual aerial or satellite dish would be covered under the contents policy, because they are considered to be a part of the TV they are connected to.

Why would I need a Contents Only Insurance policy?

If you are living in a leasehold property or renting, then you are likely only to require Contents Insurance. This is because the freeholder should have a buildings policy in place, therefore you will likely be looking to try and cover your possessions only.

House Rebuild Costs

When taking out Home Insurance, you are insuring your house for the cost of rebuilding it to the same standard as it is now, you are not insuring it for its value on the open market. When quoting you for a Home Insurance policy we will ask you for the rebuild cost of your home.

If you are not sure how much it would cost to rebuild your home then you can either have a rebuild cost assessment carried out by a Chartered Surveyor (which some insurers prefer) or you can use the house rebuild cost calculator below.
