What details do I need to get a home insurance quote?
It takes just 8 minutes to get a home insurance quote. And if you have these details to hand, finding cover is even easier:
- Basic information about your home
- What door locks and alarms you have
- Your home contents value
- Details of previous claims
- Your home’s rebuild cost
- Details about your roof
Basic information about your home. Such as the year it was built and what type of building it is e.g. mid-terrace, bungalow. We’ll also ask the date you moved in or bought your home.
What door locks and alarms you have help insurance companies get a picture of how secure your home is. If you’re unsure, our guide on door lock types could help. Your home contents value is the total amount you’d have to pay to replace everything in your house. You can use our contents calculator to estimate the value of your personal belongings.
Details of any previous claims should be listed in your renewal documents. If you don’t have these to hand, you can contact your previous insurance company.
Your home’s rebuild cost is how much it would cost to completely rebuild your house from the ground up, not including any of your possessions. We’ll automatically estimate the value of your home, but you can enter your own amount. For more information, find out how to calculate the rebuild cost of your home.
Details about your roof include the materials it’s made from e.g. tile, slate or thatched. We’ll also ask you how much of your roof is flat, if at all.
