The FAQs of Contents Insurance
What Does Contents Insurance Cover?
In the insurance industry, they often tell you to imagine contents insurance as the protection for things that would fall if someone was to turn your house upside down. This cover provides protection in the event that your possessions are lost, damaged or stolen, depending on the policy chosen and items in question. Most Contents Insurance policies cover:
Furniture - Sofas, Tables, Chairs, Beds...
Electrical Items - Televisions, Laptops, IPads, Mobile Phones...
Soft Furnishings - Cushions, Throws, Curtains...
Clothing & Jewellery - Coats, Wedding Rings, Watches...
If your rental home was partially or fully furnished, it is likely that your Landlord has insured the items that they own.

How Does Contents Insurance Work?
When you take out a Contents Insurance policy, you will be prompted to choose from a few options of cover.
New-for-Old-Cover: This means that your insurance provider will pay for a brand new version of the item that has been damaged, lost or stolen. The cost of the item will be equivalent to the price that you paid. This is why it is important not to under-insure yourself. Premiums tend to be higher with this type of policy.
Indemnity Cover: This type of policy tends to be cheaper than the New-for-Old-Cover because this cover takes wear and tear into consideration, based on how long you have had your item for. With wear and tear, the value of the payout you receive may be a lot less than you originally paid for it.
