Both the cost and the type of coverage offered by different Buildings Insurance policies varies, but when you compare Aviva Home & Contents Insurance to the competition we think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

For example, of all customers buying home buildings and contents insurance with Aviva, from 1 January 2013 to 30 April 2013, 10% of those customers paid £139 or less. Of course, the premium you pay will depend upon personal circumstances, the type of insurance cover chosen and the method of payment chosen, but rest assured that Aviva Home Insurance is very competitive on price.
