If you are planning to purchase
a new home, or even you have n existing home then you should
consider a suitable UK home insurance policy.
This will cover you against damage to your building and this
type of insurance is required for UK mortgage purposes.
If you are wondering what
fittings and fixtures are included in which policy you could
try an mental experiment (please do not try this at home!),
if you turn your house on its' head, everyting that falls
out is covered by contents insurance while eveything that
is left is covered by buildings insurance.
On many occasions if you ask
for home insurance quotations involving your buildings and
contents insurance you will probably be eligible for an additional
discount which will make a cheap home insurance policy.
