Buildings and Contents Insurance with Money Factors Ltd

Looking for reliable buildings and contents insurance? At Money Factors Ltd, we help homeowners across the UK protect what matters most—their property and belongings. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, having the right buildings and contents insurance in place is essential for peace of mind and financial protection.

What Is Buildings and Contents Insurance?

Buildings and contents insurance is a combined policy that protects your home's physical structure and the belongings inside it. This type of insurance is essential to safeguard your finances in case of unforeseen events like fire, flood, theft, or accidental damage.

Buildings insurance covers the structure of your property, including walls, roof, floors, and permanent fixtures such as fitted kitchens and bathrooms.

Contents insurance, on the other hand, protects your personal belongings such as furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and valuables.

Money Factors Ltd works with leading UK insurers to provide tailored buildings and contents insurance solutions that suit your property type, location, and individual needs.

Why Do You Need Buildings and Contents Insurance?

Without buildings and contents insurance, homeowners face the risk of significant financial loss in the event of damage, theft, or liability claims. Here's what this insurance can protect you from:

  • Natural disasters (storms, floods, fires)

  • Theft or burglary

  • Accidental damage to property or possessions

  • Legal fees or liability if someone is injured on your property

  • Alternative accommodation costs during repairs

Money Factors Ltd ensures you get the right level of protection so you’re never left vulnerable to unexpected events.

Buildings Insurance Explained

What Does Buildings Insurance Cover?

Buildings insurance covers the structural aspects of your property. Typical coverage includes:

  • Walls, roofs, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows

  • Permanent fixtures and fittings (kitchens, bathrooms)

  • Outbuildings like garages, sheds, or greenhouses

  • Debris removal and site clearance

  • Alternative accommodation if your home becomes uninhabitable

  • Legal expenses related to property incidents

  • Damage to plumbing, drainage, and wiring systems

How Much Does Buildings Insurance Cost?

The cost of buildings insurance varies based on:

  • Property size and rebuild cost

  • Location (some areas are more prone to flooding or theft)

  • Type of property (flat, house, bungalow)

  • Security features (alarms, locks, CCTV)

On average, annual premiums start from around £100, but Money Factors Ltd can help you find a competitive quote that fits your budget without compromising on coverage.

When Should You Get Buildings Insurance?

If you're buying a property, buildings insurance should be in place from the date you exchange contracts. Mortgage lenders often require it as a condition of the loan. Money Factors Ltd can assist you in arranging cover in time for your completion date.

What is Freehold Buildings Insurance?

Freehold building insurance is specifically designed for homeowners who own both the property and the land it sits on. It covers:

  • Full structural damage

  • Permanent interior fixtures

  • Optional add-ons for legal protection or accidental damage

At Money Factors Ltd, we provide tailored quotes for freehold property owners, ensuring total peace of mind.

Contents Insurance Explained

What Does Contents Insurance Cover?

Contents insurance protects the items you would take with you if you moved house. Typical coverage includes:

  • Furniture and furnishings

  • Kitchen appliances and white goods

  • Home electronics and gadgets

  • Clothing, shoes, and personal items

  • Jewellery, watches, and valuable collectables

  • Items stored in garages or sheds

  • Accidental damage (optional or included)

  • Loss of keys or replacement locks

Does Contents Insurance Cover Accidental Damage?

Yes, most policies offer accidental damage as an optional extra, and some may include it as standard. This covers scenarios like:

  • Spilled drinks on electronics

  • Broken valuables

  • Cracked TV screens

  • Damaged flooring from accidents

Money Factors Ltd will help you assess whether this add-on is right for you.

How Much Contents Insurance Do I Need?

To calculate your contents cover, do a full inventory of everything you own—room by room. The average UK household has contents worth over £35,000, but many people underestimate the true value.

Money Factors Ltd will help you ensure you’re not underinsured or overpaying by reviewing your assets and recommending the correct level of cover.

Do You Need Contents Insurance?

Yes, if you own valuable belongings, contents insurance is highly recommended. It gives you financial security in the event of theft, loss, or damage. Whether you're a homeowner or tenant, Money Factors Ltd can arrange the right policy tailored to your lifestyle.

How Soon Can You Claim on Contents Insurance?

Most policies provide immediate cover, allowing you to claim from the policy start date. However, you cannot claim for incidents before your policy begins. Money Factors Ltd helps you understand the fine print so there are no surprises.

Buildings and Contents Insurance vs Home Insurance

  • Buildings insurance covers the structure and fixtures

  • Contents insurance covers moveable personal items
