Finding the right cover
Your home and its contents are undoubtedly very important to you, so it’s essential to choose the right insurance to protect them. Before buying home insurance make sure you think carefully about how much cover you need and which extras might be needed on your policy.
Make sure your home is secure, and that your locks are up to the minimum standard required by your insurer. As there’s a possibility that any claims you might make could be invalid – as insurers won’t pay out if you’ve been negligent.

Why it pays to shop around
Home insurance is renewed automatically every year, unless you decide to switch to another provider. ‘Auto-renewing’ your policy may prove expensive, so maybe take the opportunity to shop around to see if you can find cheaper cover elsewhere.
Note down when your policy is due to be renewed, then nearer the time check if you could save money by switching insurers. Check out our home insurance channel to compare policies and find one that’s right for you.
