Mandatory or not?

Home insurance in Spain is not mandatory. However, it is strongly recommended. In any case, the common parts of a co-ownership ("comunidad de vecinos" in Spain) must be insured.

For what purposes?

If you are a tenant, it is recommended that you insure your belongings (contents) and if you are an owner, it is advisable to insure your belongings and the building. Note that most of the home insurance contracts include liability for you and your family.

For what covers?

Your  home insurance in Spain  can cover fires, water damage, break-ins, burglaries, natural disasters, damaged electrical appliances in the event of a power failure, etc., etc. and the most important, your civil liability.

Owner or tenant?

Your home insurance premium is generally higher if you are an owner. This is due to the extent of the guarantees: you must insure the building and your movable property if you are an occupying owner.

Secondary or main residence?
