Castle Cover Home Insurance

Emergency situations at home cannot be anticipated, so people are rarely financially prepared for when their property is subject to an accident, adverse weather damage, a fire or theft. Building repairs are expensive and with most properties holding approximately £25,000 of contents, home insurance is a sensible precaution to be ready for the worst.

Home Insurance is generally separated in to buildings and content cover. With Castle Cover you can purchase these policies together as one joint cover plan or you buy them separately as you require.

What is an Excess?

An excess is the sum you have to pay when you claim on your insurance. Normally, the cheaper the insurance the higher the excess or the more restrictions that are applied when it comes to claiming.

Generally, there are two kinds of excess: a compulsory excess and a voluntary excess. Compulsory means that your insurer will set the price and you must pay it, whereas voluntary excess is set by yourself.

Remember to set your voluntary excess carefully. If you’re willing to contribute a large amount towards a claim, your insurer will reward you with a lower premium, but this could make claiming on your policy more expensive.
