It’s not a legal requirement to have Buildings Insurance, however, if you are looking to get a mortgage for the property then this may be one of their requirements, as well if you have a leasehold arrangement. Although it’s not a legal requirement, it is highly advisable as damage to the property could be very costly to repair and could cause loss of income if your tenants have to move out. We can also provide Loss of Income Insurance within your Residential Landlord Insurance package.

Buildings insurance is part of the permanent structure of the building such as the roofs, floor, walls, and contents are the items inside that could be moved to another property. Contents would include things like furniture, freestanding appliances, and electronics. Although this can seem very straightforward, depending on your policy wordings items like carpets would be covered under contents insurance, whereas tiles, for example, would be covered under buildings insurance, and even fixtures and fittings such as the bathroom and kitchen would also be covered under buildings insurance.

Accidental Damage Insurance is part of your Residential Landlords Insurance package, and it covers you against any one-off accidents that have caused damage to your property or contents. This can be things such as a spill on the carpet that would pay for the replacement, or if damage was caused to the wall or nearby items while putting up the shelves, for example, that would pay for the cost of repair.

The value of your buildings sum insured is calculated based on the cost of how much it would take to rebuild the property to you, rather than today’s market value. This would include the labour and the materials, especially if you are able to source the required work at a reduced cost. Don’t forget to take into account other areas such as design costs, legal fees, professional advice, planning, site clearance and removal expenses.

We are not professional valuers and do not offer that service. We would always recommend that you obtain a professional valuation on a regular basis to ensure that the sums insured are correct, up to date and in line with market conditions to avoid any risk of “under-insurance” in the event of a claim, which could affect the outcome of any payment.

If you are in any doubt regarding the value of your home or possessions, then always seek the advice of an experienced and qualified professional – and if any changes are subsequently required, then contact your insurance broker and/or provider to ensure that the levels of cover are accurate and appropriate.
