Your home is likely to be the most valuable thing you own; without
insurance you may struggle to afford repairs if any damage should be
incurred.
When you take out home insurance, it is with the best intentions and should
result in immense peace of mind. However, a recent study (1) has highlighted that
75% of homeowners in the UK have inadvertently invalidated their insurance
policy, by potentially making their homes vulnerable.
For example, by leaving doors unlocked or windows open (especially during the
summer months), homeowners run the risk of having a claim rejected by their
insurer. Almost half (48%) of survey respondents have admitted to doing this.
So, be careful, don’t run the risk of invalidating your policy.
As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.
