Building insurance and household contents insurance - where and what is covered?
Despite the fact that there are numerous policies and household content insurance products on the market, they all distinguish between two concepts: building insurance and household contents insurance.
We’ll show you an easy way for figuring out the difference. Assume your home is a miniature dollhouse with a variety of items within (furniture, carpets, appliances, etc.). Everything that would fall to the floor if you turned the house upside down is known as contents, whereas everything that would stay in your hand is the building.
What does building insurance comprise?
The main framework of the building, including foundations and walls; balconies and pillars; doors and windows, walls, ceilings, and floors; roofs and facades. Water pipelines, gas pipes, cables and electrical systems, heating and cooling are all examples of fixed and permanent installations.
Annexed structures, such as garages, small houses with storage rooms, and other structures on the same site, are also included. This covers the insured building’s fences, walls, and enclosures. Sports fields, children’s playgrounds, and swimming pools are all included in the structure. Permanently attached decorative components (e.g., mirrors and portraits screwed or glued to the wall, permanently fixed lights, awnings attached to the home structure, and kitchen worksurfaces, sinks, and bathroom fittings)
What benefits can C1 offer me as an insurance broker?
By constantly comparing quotations with other insurance providers we guarantee to get you the best quote. Being an independent insurance broker means that we always work in the best interest of our clients. In the event of damage you can be assured that you and your interests will be represented at the highest level when processing your claim. An exclusive agency however is bound to a certain Insurance Company and therefore only acts in the interests of that Company.

There are several reasons why the price of your home insurance may increase. The premium for your house insurance in Spain is not the same as that of your neighbours, because there are factors that determine the price that each one pays for the same service:
- Not all houses are the same, have the same constructed areas, nor are they built with the same quality of construction.
- The use you give to your villa also influences the premium, it is not the same to use it as your main residence in Spain or to long-rent it or to rent it out for tourists & short term holidays.
- Not all villas have the same security protection measures and therefore there are different levels of risk. The existence or not of an alarm connected to a central or to the police, security bars on the windows, reinforced door, double-glazing windows, 24-hour security, etc. will certainly reduce the value of your insurance premium.
- The age of the house and how long ago the last plumbing and electrical installations refurbishments were carried out.
- The capital sum insured. Since the higher is the capital you insure, the more the policy premium will increase proportionally
- The geographical area where the villa is located – If statistically there is a lot of burglary or the house is in an area with seismic faults or a propensity to floods, these factors also affect the algorithm responsible for calculating how much you pay for your house insurance in Portugal.
- Most insurers in Portugal update the value of home insurance, at the time of contract renewal.
