Other than home owners insurance covering your primary residence where you live and rental property insurance covering a home that you rent to others there are a few differences in types of coverage. While most home owners policies cover the building you live in as well as your contents (TV, Clothes, etc...), most rental property policies cover only the building. This is because in a rental property situation you usually do not own the contents inside and the renters have renters insurance to cover their own contents.
Most lender insurance is $2.50 per $1000 of the loan and owner's insurance (which includes lender's insurance as well) is $3.75 per $1000 of the sale price of the home plus $175. It's not fixed or regulated in MA, so prices may vary. So, if you paid $355,000 for a home, owner's & lender's insurance combined would be $1,506.25 at these prices. If you got a loan for 95% of the cost ($337,250) and didn't want owner's insurance, the cost of lender's insurance would be $843.13. Lender's insurance is mandatory, owner's is optional. Owner's lasts until you sell the home, I believe lender's would have to be purchased again if you refinanced.

There are not many differences between US home insurance plans and UK home contents insurance. In the US, you can select different 'plans' that will cover a greater number of the contents in the home, such as appliances and security or electronic devices. The UK plans normally combine both the basic home insurance particulars plus the home's contents and name the cover "Home and contents insurance", and exactly what is covered is also dependent on the 'plan' that is selected.
