    i was just checking my house insurance details and

    Building Cover : Fire specified cover and Accidental Damage

    Contents Cover : Fire and Specified Cover Excluding Accidental Damage

    Can someone explain i do have Accidental Cover but not with contents does this mean if something happens the contents there not insured just the Structure of the House ?

    Thanks in Advance

    Very unusual that Buildings and Contents would have different cover, but it can happen

    As long as there is a monetary sum insured for contents, they are covered for loss from stated causes. Specified cover (often called specified perils) usually include Fire, Lightning, Explosion, Storm, Impact, Burst Pipes, Theft, Riot, Ciivil Commotion and Theft. It is important to note that this is a menu and you might not have them all. The exact ones should be highlighted on you schedule and detailed elsewhere in the policy

    Regarding the "excluding accidental damage" cover it is possible that you are not covered if someone knocks over the TV and damages it for example.

    However if the house burns down then the contents are covered.

    Talk to the insurer to clarify what cover you actually have.
