Home Insurance Questions

If something has happened, it’s important to reach out to law enforcement if a crime has been committed. Once you’ve done that, get in touch with your insurer to begin the claims process.

Don’t forget to document the incident – take photos or videos and keep any pertinent paperwork such as receipts and bank statements. Unless there’s an emergency situation, you’ll need to wait for your insurer’s approval before repairs can be made.

If you decide to make a claim, you’ll need to pay an excess. That excess is made of two parts: the compulsory excess – set by your insurer – and the voluntary excess – which you choose.

If you’re looking to save on premiums, you could opt for a higher voluntary excess. Just make sure it’s something you can comfortably cover if you ever need to make a claim.

No worries! Most policies will have your phone covered while it’s in the house. If you’re looking to have it protected while you’re out and about, make sure to double check if the policy offers that away from home cover.

If your phone is worth more than the single article limit, you may just need to list it separately on your contents policy.

If you want to make some changes to your home, like building an extension, or doing any major structural renovations like re-plumbing the property, you should let your insurer know before any construction begins.

That way they can accurately assess the risks and make sure you’re covered. Don’t worry, you don’t need to inform them about simpler things like redecorating or fitting a new bathroom or kitchen. So go ahead and make your house your home – just make sure your insurer is in the loop!

Although your home insurance may provide some coverage, make sure you double-check that it will offer sufficient protection for all your business equipment and merchandise.

It’s always a good idea to let your home insurer know if you work from home – you may not need extra coverage, but not informing them could cause problems if you ever need to submit a claim.

Insurers will have a look, but the type of search they use won’t have any negative impact on your credit score.

It’s great that most home insurers cover bicycles as standard, but if you want added protection for your bike, you can opt for an extended policy. This will cover theft or damage to your bike away from home, so you can feel secure when out and about.

If you have a more expensive bicycle, such as one used in racing or competitions, it’s worth considering specialist bicycle insurance.

When you move house, be sure to let your insurance provider know – they can sometimes transfer your policy to your new place for you.

Depending on the difference in your old and new address, there may be a small additional cost. Don’t forget to check if using a professional removal service covers your belongings during the move.
