Why do you need contents insurance?

Contents insurance covers you from damage or loss to your contents due to things like fires, flooding, storms, and theft. You are not legally obliged to take out contents insurance, but if you are renting it could be a good idea to give you peace of mind. This will ensure you are covered for your most valuable items if they are destroyed, for example in a fire. Contents insurance can protect you financially in the event of burglary, fire or other damage. Underinsurance occurs when your items are insured for less than the replacement value. This could occur by simply electing for the incorrect value of your items. However this can also occur due to inflation where costs rise overtime and items are valued more over time.

The maximum amount that will be paid out in the event of a claim is €1000.

3.    Submit a police report for theft-related claims.

4.   Document the damage or loss with photos.

How much contents insurance should I get?

How much contents insurance you should get depends on the sum value of what you’d like to insure. Determining the value of your belongings and the number of items you want to insure is key. Start by creating a list of all the items you'd like covered and assign a value to each. There's no need to include fixed items, as they will be covered under your building insurance; this includes things like laminate flooring, fitted wardrobes, and light fittings.

The great news is you won't have to dig through receipts to estimate costs. Instead, find out what it would cost to replace each item today, rather than relying on the prices you originally paid. Be sure to account for depreciation on household linens, clothing, floor coverings, and any TV or audio equipment that is over four years old.

Have a chat with us at OUTsurance and we can talk you through the process.

Top tip: It's a good idea to take note of any serial or model numbers of all electrical appliances that you have, this will help if an item is stolen.

Does contents insurance cover flooring?

No, but your buildings insurance covers this.
