Review belongings, accidental damage, personal liability and the sums that fit your household.
01Do you rent or own your home?
02What would it cost to replace your belongings?
03Do you need cover away from home?
Start with the essentials, explore the trade-offs, then compare written terms for your situation.
Household insurance protects selected losses to your belongings; personal liability responds to covered damage caused to other people or their property. They solve different problems. Estimate replacement costs for furniture, clothes and equipment, then describe household members and everyday activities accurately.
Compare cover at home and away, including whether simple theft outside the home is an optional extension. Ask about bicycles, electronics and jewellery limits, proof of ownership and security requirements. Replacement-value wording does not remove sublimits, deductibles or exclusions.
Check rental damage, lost keys, borrowed objects and which people are insured. Property owners also need to distinguish household contents from building cover. Review the insured sum after a move or major purchase, and compare accidental-damage options against the cost you could reasonably bear yourself.
| Option or layer | What to understand and check |
|---|---|
| Household contents | Your property: insured events, sums and item limits. |
| Personal liability | Covered damage to others; insured people and exclusions. |
| Building cover | The structure; requirements depend on location and ownership. |
Do not assume so. Describe home-working or self-employed activities and check whether business liability is needed.
Use replacement values and check underinsurance clauses.
Compare theft away from home, water damage, natural events and optional accidental damage.
Personal liability limits, deductibles and family definitions differ by contract.
Leaks, runoff and damage to neighbours require different factual and insurance questions.
