Tesco Finance have introduced the well known Finest branding to their home insurance, with this top of the line cover introducing a concierge service and even higher values of protection.
The cover offered for buildings is now unlimited, and the protection for contents while the house is empty, for example at Christmas, has doubled from GBP5,000 to GBP10,000. As a special offer Tesco Finance are also giving customers an extra 20 percent on the amount of protection offered free of charge.
Tesco are also including an initial appetizer that will be well received by new customers, namely a GBP60 shopping voucher, which can also be redeemed at the petrol station if required.
A study commissioned by Barclays Insurance has looked at the most popular small businesses across the UK,a key element for home insurance since a number of these businesses carry out repair work or provide new products.
For those suffering a plumbing related incident that needs attention, whether on the home insurance policy or not, Norwich is the place to be since there are more plumbers there than anywhere else in the UK. Barclays Insurance also found that Essex is the best place to find an electrician.
As a spokesman from Barclays Insurance explained, it can sometimes be difficult to find a tradesman for an insurance quote or repair, though in some places it is more difficult than others. The key point is that tradesmen are a vital part of the UK infrastructure.
Having surveyed homeowners across the country Halifax Home Insurance has found that around 1.7 million households have an unfinished renovation project that they have been working around for 2 years or more.
Of the people surveyed by the Halifax almost half of them said they just did not have the time to finish the job off, while nearly 30 percent said they could not afford to complete the work. It appears that the most common room that remains unfinished is the bedroom, perhaps because it is not a room everyone sees.
A Halifax Home Insurance spokesman, looking at the information, felt that effective budgeting at the start of the project could help more people get jobs finished. Taking a realistic view of costs rather than being overly optimistic is perhaps the biggest change to make.
