• 'Take Your Pick' Home Insurance

    Your home and lifestyle is as individual as you are, and we believe that your home insurance should be just as personal. That’s why we’ve created 'Take Your Pick' Home Insurance. It frees you to build a policy that covers the things you love while only paying for what you need in two simple steps:

    1. Choose your preferred level of Core Cover, which covers the structure of your house and selected contents
    2. Build on this protection with our Extra Cover options - for specified items such as TVs, bikes, jewellery, etc

    It’s worth noting that all Extra Cover options are not covered in the Core Cover, which means you only pay for the level of cover you really need.

    Your Core Cover

    First off, you need to choose which level of Core Cover works best for you. There are 3 options to choose from:

    • Core Buildings Only with £500,000 cover as standard
      • This covers the actual structure of your home and will pay to repair it if it gets damaged by fire, flood, subsidence or a falling tree
    • Core Contents Only with £50,000 cover as standard
      • This pays to replace lost or damaged contents if you are burgled or if your home is damaged by fire, flood or a storm
    • Core Building and Contents
      • This combines the Core Buildings Only and the Core Contents Only giving you the best possible cover for both your home and possessions

    Once you've decided on your base level, you can select your extra home insurance cover options.

    Your Extra Cover options

    From clothes to camping kit and TVs to trees, our Extra Cover options help you to create a package that’s perfect for your lifestyle. Simply pick the options that are right for you from our extensive list. You can always add on in the future.
