Cover For Your Home

Our Mutual Home Product is no longer available to new members but remains in force for existing members who purchased or renewed their cover prior to 1st April 2020. We are developing an alternative Home proposition for our members that will be available later in the year. Information on this page relates only to members whose cover incepted prior to 1st April 2020.

It is important you ensure that your home continues to have uninterrupted cover by either accepting a new Select and Protect quotation or sourcing alternative cover elsewhere prior to your renewal date. TMM will not be able to provide any extension of your home cover nor the benefit of the Group Insurance policy after the current expiry of your cover.

Who Provides Your Cover

The Military Mutual offers cover on a discretionary basis to its Members which means the Board can, at its discretion, settle claims outside the normal terms and conditions if they feel that Members would support this.

We collect contributions from our Members and use these to pay claims and to cover operating expenses. Any future surpluses generated beyond these needs belong to our Members and can only be used for the benefit of our Members or as agreed by our Members.

Telephoned Military Mutual today after receiving their leaflet through the post and I am glad i did, i was speaking with a very pleasant young lady Sasha who set up my home and contents insurance very promptly and at a very reasonable price.

K. KerridgeHome Insurance customer

I appreciate The Military Mutual helping out an ex-serving member. It’s nice to see a company that helps out the military and ex-military personnel.

CD, Midlothian (ex-Army)Buildings & Contents Cover

I sent an email in the morning and got a call back in the afternoon. After a good, interesting and informative conversation I have happily taken out a policy, and will come back for a car insurance quote as and when.

DB, Gosport (ex-Royal Navy)Home & Contents Cover

I found The Military Mutual to be prompt; you rang us today as you said you would. The people I spoke to were courteous, and gave me very competitive prices. I cannot fault you!

The Military Mutual has given me an outstanding quote. I am truly impressed on how superb the service is and I will recommend The Military Mutual to everybody who asks me.

GS, London (currently serving in the Army)Military Kit & Personal Belongings Cover

I follow The Military Mutual on Twitter and I think that it’s really good that you look after military personnel. You answered all my questions and explained all of my options. I had an A1 service from the people I spoke to.

DH, Gosport (ex-RN)Home Cover

Very friendly and helpful. Great product, price and service. Highly recommend.

MS, Devon (ex-army)Home Cover

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your colleague Steve’s professional and courteous manner in which he dealt with me on the phone. After saving £90 on my Home Insurance renewal I will have no hesitation in recommending your company to my friends and colleagues!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does our Home Cover work?

There are two main types of Home Cover: Buildings Cover and Contents Cover; you can also buy Combined Buildings and Contents Cover.

Buildings Cover protects the structure of your home – for example, your walls, windows and roof, as well as permanent fixtures and fittings, such as baths, toilets and fitted kitchens – while Contents Insurance covers the possessions in your home.

As well as covering you for theft, our home cover also protects you against damage caused by a number of unforeseen events, including flooding, fire and explosions.

Is Home Cover a legal requirement?

It’s not compulsory to take out Home Cover, but if you have a mortgage on your property the lender will almost always insist that you have adequate Buildings Cover in place. If you’re buying a home, you should make sure you have Buildings Cover in place when you exchange contracts, as you then have a financial interest in the property. You may also be covered under the seller’s insurance. 

Why is Home Cover important?

Your home is probably your largest and most important asset — not to mention that it’s also the roof over your head. It makes absolute sense to protect it.

As for Contents Cover, how would you cope if you lost all of your possessions in a fire or your valuables due to a robbery?

How much Home Cover do I need?

For Buildings, it’s important to make sure you have cover for the amount it would cost to completely rebuild your home. The cost of rebuilding your home isn’t the same as the price you paid for your home, or its current value if you were to sell it. Rebuild costs are usually less than the current market value, so make sure you don’t over or under insure yourself.

To help you work out the cost of rebuilding your home, there’s a Building Cost Information Service online calculator on the Association of British Insurers’ website.
