Buildings insurance
Usually, we arrange buildings insurance for your home. You should take out home contents insurance to protect your belongings. If you have an older lease, you may need to arrange your own buildings insurance. Your lease will clearly state if you are responsible for your own insurance. We will need to see evidence that you have a valid policy in place.
