Frequently asked home insurance questions

Do I need home insurance?

Home insurance is an important financial protection for any homeowner. It can help you to recover financially if your home or possessions are lost or damaged by a covered event. It may also be a condition of your mortgage.

It is important to compare quotes to find the best coverage for your needs and budget, which is what we’re here for at Quote Devil.

What is contents insurance?

The best way to define contents insurance is to imagine your house was turned upside down. Your contents would be everything that would fall out!

Contents cover includes:

  • Household goods such as your sofa or kitchen table and chairs
  • Personal belongings
  • Your television, radio, fridge freezer and other electrical appliances
  • Interior decorations such as lamps and rugs

Deciding what amount to cover your contents for is based on the cost of replacing all of the above if they were totally destroyed.

Contents cover can range anywhere from €15,000 to €125,000 and above on a standard household insurance policy.

My house insurance is up for renewal - should I change provider?

We always advise that you compare quotes from multiple providers when your home insurance is up for renewal.

Quotes can vary based on what is being insured, whether you're looking for separate home, contents or buildings insurance policy or one to cover them all.

Insurers will be able to explain the key features of each policy they offer and some will even let you choose things such as varying your excess amounts. There may be optional extras such as accidental damage, emergency cover or legal protection.

Most of the time brokers such as ourselves are able to get a better deal for you.

How do I make a claim on my home insurance?

First of all, check your policy to see if you are covered for the accident or incident that has occurred. If so, most insurers will have a 24 hour emergency assistance team that you can call to inform them of what has happened. They will usually arrange for someone to call out and access the damage. They may also advise you of the best thing to do in the interim, as well as help you seek alternative accommodation if your home is damaged by flood or fire.

You must notify your insurer of any incident that may give rise to a claim within 30 days of occurrence as failure to do so could result in your claim being refused.

Remember to always keep your receipts for any repair or reinstatement work as your insurer will require these to validate costs.

How does my policy excess work?

Calculating the value of your home contents is important to ensure that you are properly covered. If you over-estimate your contents, you will be paying more than you should for your insurance. Under-value your contents, and you might find yourself in a difficult position if you need to make a claim. Using our calculator will help you to think of the things in your home that need to be protected.

To estimate the value of your home contents we recommend listing out all of your personal belongings by room. Take extra care to accurately assess any high-value items. For more help, read our guide on calculating the value of your home contents.
