House insurance - quickquote facility

You should insure for the cost of rebuilding the property (including architects fees and debris removal) - this could be much less (or more) than the market value. If cover is required for contents inside then you must insure for the cost of replacing all the contents. There is a maximum sum insured of £1,000,000 for the building and £150,000 for the contents. Although some guidelines are shown please refer to the policy for full details of cover, exclusions and limitations. If you insure your buildings for at least the sum suggested by SAGIC (ask for a house quote and enter property details to get a figure) then underwriters guarantee not to reduce a claim provided the correct sum insured does not exceed 115% of this amount. If you are used to just applying for bedroom-based policies with sums insured from £250,000 to £1,000,000 you may be surprised at the actual cover you need.
