Burglaries In Your Home – Don’t Invalidate Your Home Insurance By David Wilcox With the number of burglaries set to rise in the UK as a result of the economic downturn, it is important to protect yourself against the increasing threat of crime. Whilst there are things that you can do to help reduce the risk of burglary, it can’t be guaranteed that you and your home will not be targeted.
Many people would be dependant on their buildings and contents should the worst happen. Whilst buildings and contents can’t bring back your stolen prized possessions, it can help cover the costs of repairing any damage caused and replacing the goods taken from your home.
However, every year there are homeowners and tenants with valid buildings and contents that are left to foot the bill of a break-in. Many people don’t realise this but invalidating your home is a lot easier than you would expect.
Installing new doors and windows in your home without informing
your insurer of the new security details, leaving tools outside that are then used to break into your home, leaving your home unoccupied for more than 30 consecutive days and leaving your windows open or unlocked are all ways in which you can invalidate your insurance. These are just a few examples of ways in which you can invalidate your insurance.
As you can see from above, it really is quite easy to slip up when it comes to your home insurance. Many people don’t become aware of this until it’s too late. In many cases it isn’t until a claim is made which is either refused or the payout reduced that they realise how easy it is to invalidate your insurance.
It is important to read all of your policy documents so that you are conscious of what your covers and how it can be invalidated. Doing this can help make you aware of what you are covered against and removes the risk of invalidating your policy.
