  • How much am I covered for?

    Buildings - This section of your policy provides unlimited cover.

    However, there are some properties that may not be eligible for this cover. These include, but are not limited to properties with:

    • 7 bedrooms or more
    • A listed status
    • A rebuild cost of more than £1,000,000
    • A year of build before 1760

    Contents - These are the items that you would normally take with you when you move. Things like carpets, curtains, furniture, electrical appliances, valuables, clothing and personal effects. Your 'contents sum insured' amount should cover the current replacement cost of these items.

    However, we cannot offer more than £175,000 cover for your contents.

    If you need a higher level of cover for your buildings or contents, Direct Line Select might be more suitable. To find out more, give them a call on 0345 246 8859.

    They're open Monday-Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday 9am-5pm.

    Our website quotes are an estimate based on the size of your property. However, this is only a quote and you should check this amount carefully.
