Home and Contents Insurance Package

Bring your home and contents insurance together and only pay one excess – the highest applicable excess - when you claim on multiple policies for one event.*

*If you claim under more than one policy with us for loss caused by a single event at the same location, you will only pay the excesses that are payable under one policy. An excess applies to each address listed on your policy schedule where there is loss or damage.

Make sure your home is safe and secure

If your home has been damaged, make sure everyone involved is safe and, if you need to, call emergency services. For example, if there has been a theft, burglary or vandalism, or an attempt at these, call the police immediately. Once it's safe to do so, you should make sure your home is secure.

Proof of purchase

If you need to make a claim on your contents, receipts and valuations are a good way to show what you are claiming on. If you don't have a receipt of valuation, you can also use photos, financial statements or records kept by the shop where you purchased the item.

Gradual damage

Gradual damage is deterioration to property caused over time. As our policies are designed to cover sudden and unforeseen damage, we don't cover damages such as wear and tear, corrosion, mould, gradual deterioration, or depreciation of your contents. Limited cover is provided for hidden water damage.
