Introduction To Home Insurance In Spain

Buildings Insurance

Buildings insurance is a policy that homeowners and landlords can take out to financially protect their property. The cover provided by buildings insurance generally includes:

• Fire
• Theft
• Water damage
• Liability

When taking out a buildings insurance policy with Spanish insurance companies, homeowners and landlords should make sure that they are covered for the full value of their property. It is also important to check whether the insurance premiums covers accidental damage, as this is not always included with some Spanish home insurance companies.

Home Insurance

Spanish home insurance or sometimes known as fully comprehensive insurance is a type of insurance that covers your home and belongings in the event of damages or theft.

It can also provide protection against liability if someone is injured on your property. Home insurance is not required by law, but it is recommended to protect your home and belongings.

There are two types of home insurance: buildings insurance and contents insurance. Buildings insurance covers the structure of your home, including the walls, roof, and floors. Contents insurance covers your belongings, such as furniture, appliances, and clothing.

Home insurance is important because it can help you to cover the cost of repairs or replacement if your home is damaged or destroyed. It can also provide financial protection if someone is injured on your property.

What Does Home Insurance Cover?

Home insurance typically covers the following:

• Damage to your home from fire, storms, floods, and other natural disasters
• Theft of your belongings
• Legal expenses
• Medical costs
• Contents cover
• Buildings cover
• Liability if someone is injured on your property
• Medical expenses for guests who are injured on your property

What Does Home Insurance Not Cover?

Home insurance does not typically cover the following:

• Damage to your home that is caused by normal wear and tear
• Intentional damage to your home or belongings
• Loss of income if you are unable to live in your home due to damages

Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance usually comes with your home insurance package and will financially protect you if you are found at fault for damaging someone else's property or injuring another person.

If you are sued, liability home insurance will cover your court fees and any damages that are awarded to the other party, up to the limit of your policy. Liability coverage is important because accidents happen all the time and you could be held responsible even if it was not your fault.

For example, if your child damages a neighbour’s car while playing ball, you could be sued for the cost of repairs. If you do not have home insurance, you will have to pay these costs including legal costs.

Summary of Home Insurance in Spain

You should research different home insurance products to find the best deal. You can compare deals from us, other insurance brokers, or by doing your own research on the internet.

Remember that your insurance broker usually offers coverage in Spanish. If you don't speak Spanish, it is important to be aware of this when making your decision.

Home Insurance FAQ’s

Do I need to insure my apartment in Spain?

If you live in a Spanish apartment complex, it is important to have community insurance. If there is a board (sometimes called an association) that manages the complex, make sure you are a member and that you pay your yearly fees. However, you will probably need contents insurance as most community policies do not include this.

This will help to protect you and your neighbours in case of an emergency. The cost of the insurance varies depending on the amenities and size of the complex.

How to make a Home Insurance claim?

If you have an incident and need to make a home insurance claim, please contact your local agent as soon as possible. They will explain to you how to file a claim.

Alternatively, you can contact our specialist team by phone or email with the information that is required.

We usually ask for a claim to be filed within seven days after an incident and in the case of a burglary please provide a police report.

What is holiday home insurance? 

Spanish holiday home insurance is a type of home insurance that is specifically designed to protect your overseas property in Spain. It can cover both the building itself and the contents inside, giving you peace of mind when you're away from home.

Secondly, you need to decide whether you want cover for accidental damage or malicious damage. And finally, you need to make sure that the policy covers you for any legal liability claims that may be made against you.
