House insurance House insurance, otherwise known as homeowners insurance, covers your home, property, and personal belongings inside your home from damages and natural disasters. When you purchase house insurance, you agree to pay premiums to your insurance provider in exchange for financial protection against covered losses. Your mortgage company often requires house insurance to protect them financially if your home experiences any damages. When disaster strikes, many people can’t afford to replace items or rebuild structures alone, so home insurance is essential to help you shoulder the brunt of these costs.

Holiday home insurance Owning a holiday home can generate extra income, but unlike your main residence, your temporary residence may require extra insurance. Holiday homes are prone to theft, weather, and water damage, especially if left unoccupied for long periods. Moreover, holiday homes frequently let out to guests are at a higher risk of damage. To fully protect your property against these risks, having the right type of holiday home insurance is important.

Home insurance Although all home insurance is different, most policies share similarities and have coverages in common. Also known as homeowners insurance, home insurance covers your home and financially protects your property and personal belongings from covered losses and damages. Whether you are the victim of theft or a fire, a home insurance policy can pay for the costs to repair and replace items or even rebuild your home.

Renters insurance Sometimes referred to as tenant insurance, renters insurance can cover theft, bodily injury, damages, and more in a rented property.

Homeowners insurance Homeowners insurance covers your property, personal belongings, and assets from damages. In the event of covered damages and loss, your policy can also pay for accommodation if you need to stay elsewhere while your house is being repaired or even rebuilt. It can also cover accidents or injuries and pay for legal expenses. A homeowners policy can help pay for events on your property that result in lawsuits for which you may be liable.

Landlord insurance If you have properties you rent out long-term, such as a holiday home or second home, you need more than a homeowner's policy. If your property is damaged in an earthquake and you can’t rent it out, landlord insurance can compensate you for loss of earnings, whereas standard home insurance can’t. Landlord insurance includes other landlord-specific coverage, such as tenant default insurance. It protects your rental property in ways that homeowners' insurance cannot.

Imagine going away on holiday for a week, only to return to the home you are renting and find it has been broken into. Your TV, laptop, and jewellery is gone, and some of your furnishings have been broken. Could you afford to replace it all by yourself? If your answer to that question is no, then you need renter's insurance. Renter's insurance is a type of property insurance providing coverage to persons renting or subletting a home or apartment.

Imagine spending your time and savings renovating your home, only to have it flooded due to an unexpectedly powerful storm during the winter. What do you do?

'All risks' refers to a kind of insurance coverage that automatically covers all risks and perils (i.e. property damage/loss arising from accidents or unforeseeable incidents), except for those that are specifically excluded in the contract.
