Policy Expert’s Gold and Silver home insurance can give you particularly high levels of cover for buildings, at up to £1 million. However, the £600,000 of buildings cover you get with Bronze will still be more than enough for most people. It’s worth noting that Policy Expert will guarantee all repair work on your home for 12 months.
While they do vary, it’s also good to know that Policy Expert buildings insurance policies come with decent levels of alternative accommodation cover. So, you’ll have somewhere to stay should the worst happen, like fire or flood.
Total contents cover is £60,000 with Bronze, rising to £75,000 with Silver and £100,000 if you choose Gold.
Gold and Silver Policy Expert home contents insurance includes handy benefits such as contents cover for your outbuildings, garden and bicycle.
All Policy Expert’s home contents insurance comes with in-and-away-from-home cover for your credit cards of up to £1,000. For certain things like business equipment, you’ll find there’s a significantly higher level of cover if you choose Gold, which in this case allows you to claim up to £5,000.
Silver and Gold policyholders also get 12 months of free home emergency cover along with free legal assistance for the lifetime of the policy.
You should think about the level of cover you need from Policy Expert home insurance and what you want to be insured for so you select the most suitable product for you.
