What is home insurance?
Home insurance is a general insurance policy that normally lasts for 12 months in return for which you pay a yearly premium. You need to either renew your policy each year, or take out a new one.
If something you are insured against then happens - for example fire, flood, accidental damage or theft - you can make a claim. If the claim is valid the insurance will pay out. With Teachers Assurance, you can pay your yearly premium in 12 monthly instalments. Unlike many other companies we don't charge you interest for this facility.
Because we like to look after our customers, we also give you up to 12% discount on the price - not just when you originally apply, but every year you stay with us.

What type of insurance will suit me best?
For convenience, many homeowners buy a combined policy that includes buildings and contents insurance. But you can buy them separately and may want to do this if you rent your home or live in a leasehold property where the owner or freeholder insures the building - then you may only need contents insurance.
Whatever your situation, Teachers Assurance can help, so please give us a call.
