Defining your household contents

If you’ve been considering taking out household contents insurance, but aren’t quite sure what the policy entails, at Old Mutual iWYZE we’ve made it as easy as possible for you. Quite simply, household contents are any items under your roof that do not form part of the physical structure of your home. From furnishings to fittings, carpets to curtains, clothes to electronics, appliances, books, cookware and more, any item that lives in your home permanently falls under your household contents insurance policy – and as such, will be protected against:

  • Theft, or attempted theft causing loss or damage to your household contents
  • Fire, lightning, explosions
  • Loss or damage caused by burst, leaking or overflowing geysers, water tanks, pipes and more
  • The loss of the contents of your fridge or freezer as the result of a blackout of more than 24 hours
  • Theft as the result of an inoperable alarm due to a blackout

Consider the scenario: you come home after a two-week holiday only to find your geyser has burst and your house flooded. Perhaps your home has been burgled. Or maybe a room in your house has been irreparably damaged due to fire or storms. Thanks to household contents insurance from iWYZE, you won’t have to worry about repairing or replacing a thing – as, provided your household contents are insured for their correct replacement value, your claim will be fully settled within two days of your paperwork being processed. Instant peace of mind, invaluable lifestyle protection.
