Home contents insurance protects the items inside your home, like furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and valuables, against risks such as theft, fire, water damage, and natural disasters. It ensures you're financially covered if your belongings are damaged or stolen.
Buildings insurance covers the physical structure of your home, like walls, roof, windows, and permanent fixtures like built-in cupboards and plumbing. Home contents insurance, on the other hand, covers the movable items inside your home. You can choose one or both depending on your needs.
A good rule of thumb is to walk through your home and list everything you’d want replaced if it were lost or damaged. Ascertain the replacement value of each item to ensure you’re not underinsured.
Yes! If you're renting, home contents insurance still protects your personal belongings. If you live in a sectional title property, the body corporate usually covers the building, but you’re responsible for insuring your own contents. Always check your lease or body corporate agreement for details.
