The policy itself will be slightly more complex than individual policies as it will have to take into account both sets of requirements. For instance, you need to make sure that it gives enough cover to rebuild your home at the same time as fully covering your possessions.
The best way to assess whether a combined policy is right for you is to compare the levels of cover and total premiums like for like against the individual policies.
Whether to take a combined policy is a matter of choice for the homeowner but it is seen by some as a more convenient and perhaps cheaper method of cover than individual policies although adequate cover should always be the main purpose of selecting home insurance.
