We advise you to take out home contents insurance which will cover you against damage to your personal items, carpets, furniture and other contents and decorations, including fire and flood damage.

It also covers certain items stolen in a break-in and any accidental damage to your home which may need repairing, for example, if a pipe bursts we will carry out the repairs but not redecorate.
