How much Home Insurance cover do I need?

It’s up to you to determine how much it would cost to replace your home if it was totally destroyed. This is known as the ‘sum insured’. This is the maximum amount we’ll pay, so it’s important you’re comfortable the sum you nominate will sufficiently replace your entire home at today’s prices. Answer a series of questions about your home and get an estimate of the cost of replacing it.
