They say your home is your castle and it's almost as true now as it was in older times. We all need a place to call our own; our own domain that we can relax in away from the pressures of the world. An environment that is ours to control, where we can make the rules. It's a place to raise a family, and as we grow older, it comes to contain our most precious memories.

And, for most of us, it's also the single biggest investment we'll ever make - the most expensive thing we'll ever own.

So it stands to reason that once we have acquired our homes, we need to protect them. This can be expensive, and there can be pitfalls along the way - although it may appear to be so, not all insurance policies are equal. In fact, some may leave you under-insured, which is a situation to avoid at all costs.

Insurance Junction can help you understand all the things that you need to take into consideration when insuring your home. For starters, this handy guide looks at these considerations, and gives you the most important information that you need to know. In other areas of the site we review all the household insurance suppliers and the packages they offer. This is designed to give you an all-in-one household insurance resource in one place.
