During these last few years we've suffered more damage to our homes from bad weather than has been seen for decades. We've all seen heart breaking stories of families who are still living in a caravan in their front garden over a year since the flooding in places such as Hull. Many of those families still affected either had no house contents insurance or were badly under insured. The weather is becoming completely unpredictable and you only have to think back to the "Hurricane" that caused so much damage in the south-east or the floods in Hull, Tewksbury and Yorkshire during 2007 to realise that weather patterns are changing dramatically and house contents insurance is becoming an absolute necessity in this day and age.

Your mortgage company will insist on insurance for the actual bricks and mortar of your home but fire or flood (either from a burst pipe or from flooding) can destroy just about every possession that you have in the house. It's a foolish (or very brave) person that doesn't have the contents of their home fully insured.
