What should I look for when comparing buildings and contents insurance in Leeds?

A CoverWise Team Answered by

When comparing buildings and contents insurance in Leeds, check that the buildings sum insured reflects the rebuild cost rather than your property's market value, and that your contents cover is sufficient to replace your belongings. Consider local risks such as flooding, subsidence and burst pipes, particularly if the property is in an area with a relevant history. Read the policy excesses, exclusions and conditions carefully, including requirements for locks, alarms or leaving the home unoccupied. An FCA-authorised insurer or broker can explain options based on your property's location and circumstances.
