Value of contents to be insured


Your home contents include all items belonging to you or another member of the household including personal items and items of specific value which can be physically removed from the building. To make the process simpler for you, Getcover offer home contents cover as a percentage of the Buildings sum insured.


Please choose a percentage which adequately represents the value of your contents.

Please note that individual high risk items will be covered in your home for up to 5% of the contents sum insured. The total of these high risk items cannot be more than 50% of the contents sum insured. If this is not the case it may be necessary to increase your contents sum insured.


High risk items are specifically jewellery, items of precious metal, pictures, watches, furs, works of art, television, video and audio equipment, home-computer, photographic equipment, stamps or coins.
