What you are covered for
Please refer to the policy summary in the leaflet below which details the main circumstances that are covered (e.g. fire, theft, water damage). A specimen policy booklet is available on request.

“New-for-Old” insurance
All your home contents are covered by the policy on a ‘new for old’ basis, with the exception of linen and clothing which will be replaced at their current cost, less an amount for wear and tear. When you are working out the cost of your insurance, you will need to work out how much it will cost to replace the full contents. If you under value your contents this will mean that if you claim you will not get the full value of your claim.
