Contents insurance covers your possessions in the home against damage or theft. Possessions include furniture, carpets, curtains, television, stereo, kitchen equipment, ornaments, personal possessions, clothing, computers, etc. It is the total value of everything that is in your home that you would take with you if you were to move.
It is usual to take out buildings and contents insurance with the same company, but this is not compulsory. It will be cheaper and less hassle if you do this than using two different companies.
