WHAT IS HOUSEHOLD INSURANCE?

Household insurance covers you against theft, fire loss or damage. Many insurance policies cover your items if you take them out of your home, including taking them on holiday with you. Household insurance policies are beneficial if your contents are stolen, lost or damaged, as otherwise, you will have to pay the full amount to replace them.
