When stating the sum insured for your buildings it should be for the estimated rebuilt cost of the property rather than the market value. Providing a correct sum insured will mean you do not pay inflated premiums.
If there are any change in circumstances for your property e.g. undertaking renovation or letting out rooms you should let your insurance provider know as claims may be invalidated if they are unaware. If in doubt it is always better to speak to us.
