Householders / House Contents

House Contents Insurance provides coverage for your belongings both within your residential premises and when temporarily located at another residence, such as when you are on vacation. 

This comprehensive protection covers a wide range of items, including furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and personal items. We understand that your belongings hold both financial and sentimental value, which is why our House Contents Insurance aims to safeguard you against unexpected events that could lead to loss or damage. Whether it’s due to accidents, theft, fire, or other insured perils, having the right insurance in place ensures that you can restore or replace your belongings without undue financial strain.

When covering your household items, it’s important that you consider a policy that encompasses all your possessions and for the complete replacement value. The last thing you want it to not be adequately covered when you need to claim. In the unfortunate event of underinsurance, your claim payout would be proportionally adjusted based on the degree of underinsurance. That’s why it’s crucial that your assets are comprehensively ensured with accurate coverage that matches the full value of each item.

The good news is that our team of short-term insurance specialists can talk you through the details of a householders or house contents policy, so that you can make an informed decision that best suits your individual circumstances.

Here are a few things that you should be aware of when it comes to householders or house contents insurance:

  • Your items that leave your residential premises are only covered if they are specified under the All Risks section of your policy
  • We recommend that you extend your cover by taking Accidental Damage, Power Surge and Mechanical / Electronic Breakdown cover. 
  • Jewellery under the house contents section is limited to R10,000 unless it is kept in a locked and wall-mounted safe. It is then covered for one-third of your house contents sum insured. When you leave your home, your jewellery and anything else you have with you is only covered if it is specified on your policy

It’s important to note that even if you have householders or house contents insurance, as soon as you leave your residential premises portable possessions are only covered if they are listed under All Risk insurance.

Everyday items like smartphones, laptops, jewellery, and other valuables are at risk when we’re on the go. That’s where All Risks Insurance comes in. From accidental damage to theft and loss, our All Risks Insurance offers you financial protection against a wide range of risks.
