What does my policy cover?

A standard policy provides cover for your buildings and contents, including third party liability, cover for fire, storm, flood and theft as standard. There are also optional add ons like All Risks Cover which offers cover for items like jewellery or sports equipment while away from the home and Accidental Damage Cover.

Can certain things reduce the cost of my home insurance?

Yes, for example having an approved house alarm can decrease the cost of insurance. Different alarm systems can result in different cost reductions.

Can I make changes to my policy once it’s been confirmed?

You can make changes to your policy at any stage. These are known as Mid Term Alterations or MTAs. It is possible that making an MTA could result in a change to your premium. To make an MTA or to learn more call us on 1850 677 678.
