Buildings and contents

To help you make sure you get the right cover have a look at what some of the key terms actually mean.

Insuring your buildings

It is not the market value of your home you should insure, it is the estimated cost to rebuild and replace the entire home. It’s important to know your “home” is much bigger than the four walls around you. The word “home” generally refers to: The Home and its domestic outbuildings, garages, greenhouses, sanitary fixtures, swimming pools, tennis courts, patios, terraces, drives, footpaths, walls, gates, hedges, fences, aerials, satellite aerials and their fittings and masts, including landlord’s fixtures and fittings, all on the same site.

Calculate the cover you need

This may seem complicated but really, you need to keep in mind; you are insuring your house and the area around it for which you, the homeowner, are responsible. If you are in doubt, the Chartered Surveyors of Ireland website has an easy to use calculator to guide you, but please remember Cornmarket cannot be held responsible for information held on external websites.

Don't over insure

Take the time to consider the amount you are covering your buildings for. Having your buildings figure stated too high can mean you are paying a premium that you will get no value for. Having your buildings figure stated too low could mean you don’t have the cover you thought you had.

Insure your contents

As with your home, you should insure your contents for what it would cost to replace them. When it comes to assets within your home, contents are defined as: All property including business equipment, valuables, clothing, personal effects and money in your home or in its domestic outbuildings, garages or greenhouses owned by any member of your household or for which they are responsible. (An easy way to look at it; all items that would fall out if you turned the house upside down!) Remember tools and equipment kept in outbuildings or garages need to be taken into account when deciding on the amount of cover you require. For particularly valuable items, you should consider separate specific all-risks cover.
