Policy period and insured persons

Home insurance covers the policyholder and anyone living in the same household with the policyholder. The insurance covers the property insured in the insurance policy and temporarily anywhere in the world for a period of up to one year.

When you move, your movable property is insured for three months in both homes.

You do not need separate luggage insurance when you travel as your contents insurance as part of your home insurance covers your personal possessions according to the level of cover and deductible chosen by you anywhere in the world for a trip lasting no more than one year.

If your personal possessions are away from the property insured in the insurance policy for more than one year, the personal possessions are insured for only three months from the date they were moved.

Insurance at full price or up to the maximum amount of compensation

Both the building and contents can be insured at full price or for a maximum amount. If Home Insurance is usually based on full-price insurance according to the floor area of your home. In this option, the total value of contents is not estimated when the insurance is taken out, nor later during the policy period, but only in the event of a claim. 

A single-item limit applies to certain items, such as valuables and bicycles. The limit applies to both contents insured at full price and contents insured for a maximum amount. Check the maximum claim limits for the various items in the Home Insurance Guide.

Permanent fixtures are covered up to the sum insured chosen by you.

You can choose EUR 200,000 or EUR 400,000 as the sum insured for third party liability insurance. For legal expenses insurance the sum insured is either EUR 10,000 or EUR 20,000.

More information on the sums insured can be found in our Insurance Guide (only in finnish).
