How much do I need to insure my buildings and contents for?
For buildings insurance, LV= Frizzell offer a limit of cover of £1m. This is great peace of mind insurance cover as in most cases it takes away the risk of being under insured.

You only need to let LV= Frizzell know if the rebuilding cost of your home is more than this amount.
For contents insurance, you can select the cover you require, which means LV= Frizzell insure you for the actual amount of contents you have within your home. To work out the correct amount you should be insuring your contents for, think about how much it would cost to replace them all as new today, except for clothing and household linen where you can deduct an amount for wear and tear. To help you work out this figure LV= Frizzell have produced a home contents estimator.
How do I cover any items I take away from the home?
