The weather here in the UK is becoming more and more unpredictable and you only have to think back to the "Hurricane" that caused so much damage in the south-east or the floods in Hull, Tewksbury and Yorkshire during 2007 to realise that weather patterns are changing dramatically and UK house insurance is an absolute necessity these days.

Your mortgage lender will insist that you have insurance for the actual bricks and mortar of your home but fire or flood (either from a burst pipe or delivered straight from the heavens) can virtually wreck every possession in your house. It's a very brave or foolish person that doesn't have the contents of their home fully insured.
