Why separate insurance
Home programmes usually have low limits for jewellery and valuables and pay out based on current value. Valuables insurance covers each item at a value agreed from the start, so there are no surprises.
Tips
- Keep a list with photos, receipts and certificates for each item.
- Have items valued by an expert and update the valuation from time to time.
- Check the limits per item and where it is covered.
Covers, limits and exclusions are always defined by the terms of the insurer’s policy.
