Home insurance is one of those things you don't have to get because you "love it." You get home insurance because it is a need or it may be a need. The truth being that you may never need to make a claim. No one however wants to take that risk. One of the important questions every home owner should ask is how much cover is enough?
To fully answer this question, you need to ask yourself what exactly you care about so much that you won't want to lose it or them.
You can cover your home alone without covering the items in the home. You could decide that the possessions in your home are not worth insuring. You could also on the other hand decide that your possessions are too valuable not to be insured.
The extent of coverage that is enough is directly proportional to the extent of coverage you want.
If you have very valuable items in your home and only insure the building because you want to save cost, you have simply not taken enough coverage. If there were to be a fire that destroyed your home, it would not be selective. Destroying only the building while leaving you precious items. So if you fully insured the building alone, you would be fully compensated but you would have lost any valuable you might have in the home. Is that adequate coverage?
To say confidently that you are fully covered, you need to be sure that in the event of any peril, your investment in your home (this should include the building itself and the contents) can not be lost.
If you are looking for ways to save, your best bet would be to search for ways to qualify for discounts. Your insurer may be able to help you with this.
To further save, choose your insurer wisely. Take time to compare amongst a number of insurer before signing on with any one. To do this effectively, visit between 4 and 5 quotes comparison sites and you would have enough quotes from several insurance companies to assure you of getting very affordable home insurance coverage.
