Nationwide is a building society or mutual.
It began life in London in 1884 as the Co-operative Permanent Building Society, offering members of the community the chance to pool savings and buy their own homes, rather than paying rent.
The Co-operative Permanent Building Society grew over the years and joined forces with about 250 other building societies. In 1970 it changed its name to Nationwide.
If your roof is damaged by an insured event - like a storm - and it’s leaking, then your buildings insurance policy should cover you.
If you paid for home emergency cover with your policy, it will pay for the emergency repairs necessary to make the roof watertight and prevent further damage. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or ageing isn’t covered.
Buildings insurance will cover you for damage caused to your home or outbuildings that’s the result of falling trees or branches. Damage to fences, hedges or gates isn’t covered by the policy. And you can’t claim for the cost of removing a fallen tree or branch if it hasn’t damaged your buildings.
Yes, you can buy contents insurance for renters from Nationwide. It protects your belongings from loss or damage due to theft, flood and fire. It also includes features like tenants’ liability cover, which can pay for repairing damage to your landlord’s property, if you’re responsible for it.
