What is the Domestic Package Policy?
This is a packaged policy specially designed to comprehensively cover residential premises against various risks. It provides cover for a dwelling house and contents against specified perils. It also covers you against legal liability for accidental bodily injuries and loss or damage to property (occupiers and owners liability).
- Current reinstatement value of buildings
- Contents value
- Plant, machinery or equipment replacement cost
- Value of furniture, fixtures and fittings
- Value laptops, screens, mobile phones
- Workmen's Compensation (Domestic Servants)
- Owner’s Liability
- Occupier’s Personal Liability
The same proposal form is used for all these risks, and only one policy will be issued. We cannot give cover under Section E unless cover is also required under Section A; nor can Section F be insured under this type of policy unless either Section A or Section B is also insured.
We may be prepared to grant cover under one only of Section D, E or F and this would be dealt with by the issue of a separate Policy, not on the Domestic Package form.
Please bear in mind that if a separate policy is issued, a minimum premium per policy apply. It is more economical to insure these contingencies as an extension of the Buildings or Contents cover.
The same proposal form is used for all these risks, and only one policy will be issued.
