Our homes are our sanctuaries – they’re the ultimate place where we can let go, be ourselves and unwind. We work hard to create safe and comfortable spaces for our families as they’re the backdrop to so much of our lives. It’s only right then, that our most precious (and expensive) commodity has the best protection. Although it may not be top of your home to-do list, it’s important to review your home insurance to make sure it’s right for you. The right policy will ensure your spaces and possessions are covered, so you can relax and enjoy your home. Doesn’t that sound good? In case you need any more encouragement, we’ve compiled the top five reasons why you should act now to make sure you have the right insurance for your home.
1. The right level of insurance will protect what’s precious to you
Many of us spend months saving up for the perfect sofa, latest piece of tech or a precious piece of jewellery. If these were stolen or damaged all at once, could you afford to replace them all? Contents cover from John Lewis Home Insurance is designed to cover the cost of stolen or damaged items and valuables to help soften the blow if something happens to your belongings. Plus, you can make changes at any time without incurring extra costs, making it simple to ensure you have the right level of cover.
2. It’ll make sure you’re covered for the worst
Sometimes, emergencies happen and our homes are no longer a safe haven. If your home can’t be lived in as a result of damage that’s covered by your policy, home insurance can cover the reasonable costs of temporary accommodation, so you can set up camp elsewhere while your home is being restored (there are often limits to how much is covered, so it’s worth checking your policy details). Buildings cover from John Lewis Home Insurance covers the cost of similar accommodation, including for your pets!
3. Keep protected against life’s little mishaps
Red wine on your soft new white carpet, or nailing through a water pipe while positioning the perfect gallery wall – they’re easy mistakes to make, but they can be costly. If you opt for John Lewis Home Insurance’s accidental damage cover (there are options for buildings and contents), you can pour yourself that extra glass of wine or throw yourself into DIY, knowing that your insurance has your back if something does go wrong. *Note* please do check for water pipes and electrics before drilling, though.
4. Home insurance doesn’t just protect your home
Many insurers provide cover options beyond your standard buildings and contents. John Lewis Home Insurance includes ID Theft Cover as standard and optional add-ons such as Personal Cyber Cover, Bicycle Cover and Student Cover. What’s more, you can change your add-ons at any time, without admin fees or hidden charges, so you really can tailor your cover to suit your needs.
5. Give yourself peace of mind
Our homes are about so much more than how they look, they’re about how they feel. The right home insurance can give you the confidence to enjoy life’s little moments. So you can throw that birthday party for your child, invite your friends round to dance in the kitchen until the early hours or go on that dream holiday without having to worry about your home. With John Lewis Home Insurance, you also have the reassurance that you’ll pay no more than a new customer when it’s time to renew - this is the kind of fairness that we love.
