Put simply, if you turned your home upside down, everything that fell out would fall into the contents insurance category while everything that stayed in place would be in the building category. Contents cover embraces all movable goods and possessions in your home and should include almost everything you would take with you to another property; furniture, household goods, kitchen equipment, televisions, computers, audio equipment, personal items and valuables covered by the policy limits, and contents that you are legally responsible for. You should check your policy for the limits applied to jewellery and cash.
