    insuring your property is compulsory and you must make sure your lender has a copy of the buildings insurance certificate - your insurer will provide one with the lenders name on it. insuring your contents - your possessions - is not legally compulsory.

    No. With most insurers, 'Home insurance' is just an overall heading, under which you can get contents insurance, buildings insurance or both.
