1Under a standard household buildings policy, which of the following is most likely to be covered as part of the buildings rather than the contents?
A.A fitted kitchen
B.A free-standing wardrobe
C.A laptop computer
D.A set of curtains
Explanation: Buildings cover includes the permanent structure and items fixed to it, such as a fitted kitchen, fitted bathroom and built-in wardrobes. Items that are not permanently attached are usually treated as contents.
2Which figure should normally be used to set the buildings sum insured on a household policy?
A.The market value of the property
B.The full rebuilding (reinstatement) cost
C.The original purchase price
D.The outstanding mortgage balance
Explanation: The buildings sum insured should reflect the full cost of rebuilding the property, including demolition, debris removal and professional fees. Rebuild cost is independent of market value, which also reflects land and location.
3A contents policy is written on a 'new for old' basis. How is a 5-year-old television settled following a covered total loss?
A.At its second-hand value today
B.At the cost of an equivalent new replacement
C.At its original purchase price
D.At purchase price less wear and tear
Explanation: New for old (replacement as new) settles claims at the cost of buying an equivalent brand-new item, with no deduction for age or wear. This is the most common basis for household contents.
4Which optional section of a household policy typically covers items such as jewellery, watches and cameras while they are taken away from the home?
A.Home emergency
B.Personal possessions (all risks) cover
C.Legal expenses
D.Buildings accidental damage
Explanation: Personal possessions, sometimes called 'all risks' or 'personal effects', extends cover to specified or unspecified valuables away from the home, including loss and theft outside the property.
5Which of the following best describes the peril 'escape of water' on a household policy?
A.Water entering from a flooded river
B.Water leaking from internal pipes, tanks or appliances
C.Rainwater entering through a damaged roof
D.Water from firefighting after a fire
Explanation: Escape of water covers damage caused by water leaking or overflowing from fixed installations such as pipes, tanks, central heating and domestic appliances within the home.
6What is the main purpose of index-linking a household sum insured?
A.To reduce the premium each year
B.To keep the sum insured in line with rebuilding or replacement cost inflation
C.To remove the policy excess
D.To extend cover to a second home
Explanation: Index-linking automatically adjusts the buildings and/or contents sum insured in line with a relevant cost index, helping to maintain adequate cover and reduce the risk of underinsurance over time.
7A home is insured for a buildings sum of GBP 150,000 but the true rebuild cost is GBP 300,000. Following a partial loss of GBP 40,000, the policy condition of average applies. What is the likely settlement before any excess?
A.GBP 40,000
B.GBP 20,000
C.GBP 80,000
D.GBP 150,000
Explanation: Average reduces the claim in proportion to underinsurance. The property is insured for half its value (150,000 / 300,000), so the GBP 40,000 loss is reduced to GBP 20,000 before any excess.
8Which feature is most characteristic of a high-net-worth household policy compared with a standard product?
A.A fixed low single-article limit
B.Worldwide all-risks cover and higher or agreed valuations for valuables
C.No buildings cover
D.Cover only for rented properties
Explanation: High-net-worth household policies provide broad, often worldwide all-risks cover, higher single-article and overall limits, and frequently agreed valuations for fine art, jewellery and collections, with a tailored, surveyed approach.
9Under most household policies, what is the typical effect of a single-article limit on contents cover?
A.It caps the amount payable for any one unspecified valuable item
B.It increases the total contents sum insured
C.It removes the need to insure valuables
D.It only applies to buildings claims
Explanation: A single-article limit caps the amount the insurer will pay for any one unspecified valuable. Items worth more than the limit must usually be specified individually to be fully covered.
10Which of the following is normally an EXCLUSION under the contents 'theft' peril?
A.Theft following violent and forcible entry
B.Theft by deception or where no force was used by a person lawfully on the premises
C.Theft during a burglary while the home is occupied
D.Theft after a window was smashed
Explanation: The theft peril usually requires forcible and violent entry or exit. Theft by trick or deception, or by someone lawfully allowed in (such as a tradesperson) without force, is commonly excluded or limited.

CII IF6 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Learn the difference between buildings and contents cover precisely, including borderline items such as fitted kitchens, fixed sanitaryware, fences and garden plants, because IF6 case studies test which section responds.
2Master sums insured: know rebuild cost versus market value for buildings, the bedroom-rated approach some insurers use, index-linking and how the condition of average reduces underinsured claims.
3Memorise the standard perils and their typical exclusions (storm versus flood, escape of water, subsidence, accidental damage) so you can match a scenario to the correct cover or exclusion.
4Be confident on UK regulation: the duty of fair presentation, the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012, ICOBS, the IPID and the Financial Ombudsman Service.
5Practise underwriting reasoning: rating factors, security and flood/subsidence risk, Flood Re, and when to accept, refer, decline or apply special terms or excesses.
6Work through case-study questions under timed conditions, reading the scenario once fully before answering, because the 5 linked questions per case study reward careful reading of the facts.
