Contents and personal liability insurance are usually taken out together as a combined product. Both types of insurance are recommended. However, you are free to take out them out individually or with separate insurers.
Home contents insurance covers damage to personal household items, such as furniture, televisions, clothes or sports equipment. Basic cover provides protection against damage caused by fire, natural hazards, water and theft at home. You can also purchase additional cover for other types of damage and risks such as theft away from home and loss.
Personal liability insurance covers any damage you may cause to others. Although it is optional, it is important to have because without it you have no protection against liability claims made by third parties.
