House Holders Insurance - Overview
Home insurance, or house-owner/householder insurance as it is also known, is important, and you should purchase one.
Be it a humble hut or a bungalow, rented or owned, it is advisable to insure your house and belongings to guard against unforeseen risks.
In addition to protecting your home, the typical home insurance covers your valuable personal property as well. Your personal property could consist of your furniture, clothing, stereo, computer equipment, jewelry etc.
Your householders' insurance policy provides you with a choice of cover for:
- The building (structure) of your home, and,
- The contents or belongings in your home/building
Householders' insurance protects both the structure of a building as well as the belongings in it.

No. Homes used for business purposes are not covered under this policy. In such cases, you will need the Merchant Cover Plan to insure your office.
