Premier or standard home insurance cover?

With premier home insurance from M&S Bank, you get extensive protection – including cover for:

  • accidental damage – from paint spills on the carpet to knocking a nail through a pipe
  • storm damage to gates and fences
  • accidental damage to freezer contents
  • visitors' belongings
  • students' possessions – when your children are at university or college
  • a dependent relative's possessions – when they're in a residential care home

You'll pay less for our standard home insurance, but your cover limits will be lower. For a detailed comparison please refer to the policy booklet, or for a quick comparison take a look at the table below:
