What is Building Insurance?
Building insurance covers the physical structure of your home — the bricks, mortar, roof, walls, fixtures and permanent fittings. If your home is damaged or destroyed by fire, storms, flooding or other insured events, your building insurance pays for repairs or rebuilding.
If you have a bond, your bank likely requires you to have building insurance — but the insurance they offer through their group scheme isn't always the best value. As an independent broker, Horak Insurance Brokers can often find you better cover at a lower premium.
