What is home insurance?
Home insurance helps cover the cost of repairing or rebuilding your home, and replacing your belongings, if they're damaged by things like fire, theft or water damage. Many plans also cover your legal liability if someone is injured in your home, or if you accidentally damage a neighbour's property.

Three things people commonly get wrong
Building cover and contents cover are often sold separately, or as add-ons — check a plan actually covers what you need before you buy.
Home insurance isn't a legal requirement in Singapore, but your bank may require it if you have a mortgage — check your loan conditions.
Pre-existing damage and normal wear and tear are commonly excluded from cover — check what's included on the plans available to you.
Home insurance helps cover the cost of repairing or rebuilding your home, and replacing your belongings, if they're damaged by things like fire, theft or water damage. Many plans also cover your legal liability if someone is injured in your home.
No, it isn't a legal requirement. That said, banks commonly require it as a condition of a home loan, so check your mortgage terms if you have one.
Building cover protects the physical structure of your home; contents cover protects your belongings inside it, like furniture and electronics. Some plans bundle both, others sell them separately — check what a plan includes.
Yes — tell us your property type when you apply, and we'll show you what's available.
Pre-existing damage and normal wear and tear are commonly excluded, along with other exclusions that vary by plan — check the details before you buy.
Home insurance policies typically run for one year at a time, and are renewed annually.
Once you have a policy, claims are handled directly by your insurer, not by us — see our Claims page for how that generally works.
