What Does Buildings Insurance usually Cover?

Buildings insurance is usually compulsory if you have a mortgage, and most mortgage providers insist that you take out buildings insurance. Buildings insurance basically covers for the main structure of your home, as well as providing you with insurance cover on your homes fittings and fixtures. Usually as part of any buildings insurance policy you would expect to be covered for the following eventualities:

•   Smoke damage, fire and explosion.
•   Lightening.
•   Earthquake.
•   Flood and storm damage.
•   Civil commotion, labour, riots, and political disturbances.
•   Vandalism or damage caused by malicious persons.
•   Collision by vehicles, animals (not including that of domestic pets), aircraft or other aerial devices.
•   Attempted theft or theft from the home.
•   Heave, landslide or subsidence.
•   Damaged caused by falling branches and trees.
•   Escape, leakage of water.
•   Falling TV and radio aerials
•   Heating fuel leakage.

You can also get additional buildings insurance, which will cover you for stuff such as:

•   The spillage of paint on a carpet
•   The spillage of red wine or coffee on the sofa
•   Dropping breakables and ornaments
•   Cover for if you accidentally put your foot through the ceiling
•   Accidentally hitting a nail through a water pipe.

It is important that you check your terms and conditions before signing your insurance, as not all insurance companies offer the same list of insurable items on their buildings insurance. If you own a building or house then it is imperative that it is covered via buildings insurance, for if the worst does happen. If you were to be hit by a fire or flood the cost of repairing your home could literally run into tens of thousands of pounds and it is for this reason that your home is adequately insured.
