Understanding Buildings and Contents Insurance

Your home is probably the most valuable thing you own, and you’ve likely spent years saving up for it. Having the right cover gives you the comfort of knowing your home can be repaired or rebuilt should something sudden or unexpected happen. With our Home insurance, you can choose to cover your buildings and/or contents and tailor your insurance to meet your specific needs. MMB Finance has over 30 years of insurance experience. During this time we have built relationships with insurers and partners to create insurance products which go beyond what's expected to help ensure your peace of mind.

Buildings Insurance Explained

As a homeowner or soon-to-be homeowner, it's important that you're covered against the unexpected. Getting the right buildings insurance is vital to protect not just your building, but yourself, your family and home from a variety of situations, it's much more than bricks and mortar, it's the place you call home.

Insurance cover options include just the building, just your contents or combine them both. We are on hand to help with any questions about our Home Insurance or changes you’d like to make to your policy.

The coverage usually extends to damage caused by a range of events, including but not limited to:

Contents Insurance Explained

  1. Fire, smoke and explosions
  2. Fire, smoke and explosions
  3. Storms, floods and natural disasters
  4. Theft or attempted theft, leading to structural damage
  5. Vandalism
  6. Water damage from leaking pipes
  7. Subsidence (the gradual sinking of land causing the building to sink)

Whilst building insurance covers the structure, contents insurance is all about protecting the items inside your property. This includes furniture, electronic goods, clothing, and personal belongings. Your belongings make a house a home. Each insurer is chosen to help us offer insurance for a wide range of properties at competitive prices.

Combined Coverage for Comprehensive Protection

Additional Buildings and Contents Insurance Coverage Options

Although buildings and contents insurance can be purchased separately, combining them offers a more comprehensive protection strategy. This approach ensures that both the structure of your property and the belongings within it are safeguarded against a wide range of risks. For homeowners, this means peace of mind knowing that their home and its contents are protected.

At MMB Finance, we understand that every property and its contents are unique. That is why we offer personalised advice to help you determine the right level of coverage for your specific needs. Whether you are insuring a family home, a rental property, or a business facility, we work with you to tailor a policy that provides the protection you need, considering factors like the value of your property, the nature of your belongings, and your specific risk factors.

Whilst standard buildings and contents insurance policies provide a solid foundation of protection, many individuals and businesses in Swindon require additional coverage options to fully safeguard their properties and possessions. These additional options can be important in providing complete peace of mind and financial security. MMB Finance offers advice for a range of supplementary coverage options to ensure that your insurance policy meets all your specific needs.

Accidental Damage Cover

Accidental damage cover is one of the most popular additional options. It extends your policy to include damage caused unintentionally, such as spilling wine on a carpet or a child breaking a window while playing.

Legal Expenses Insurance

Legal expenses insurance can be a valuable addition, providing coverage for legal costs associated with property disputes, employment disputes, or contract disputes. This coverage is particularly beneficial for businesses that may face legal challenges and need financial support to cover legal fees.

Home Emergency Cover

Home emergency cover is designed to help homeowners deal with emergencies, which require immediate attention, such as a broken boiler, burst pipes, or a compromised security system. This coverage typically includes the cost of call-outs, labour, and materials for emergency repairs.

Personal Possessions Cover Outside The Home

For individuals, extending contents insurance to include personal possessions cover outside the home can be beneficial. This covers items like phones, laptops, and cameras when you are away your home in Swindon, providing protection against loss, theft, or damage.

Increased Cover for High-Value Items

Both individuals and businesses may have high-value items, which exceed the standard limits of a typical policy. Additional coverage can be arranged for expensive items such as jewellery, art, antiques, or specialised business equipment.
