The Major — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:47:41 +0000

Most insurance policies for peoples houses will not protect property that is unoccupied. If you are completing major building works on a property and the home is uninsured, you probably need to speak to an insurance broker with some experience of handling renovation property insurance.

Often they will restrict the cover to FLEE on a major project but it is essential you gain the proper protection.

If your home is unoccupied because you are a landlord awaiting tenants, you may also find your cover is restricted..

Many insurers will simply not insure thatched roofed homes. The fire risk is predominantly the factor that concerns them most.

If you have a thatched roof house, proximity to a fire station and in-home fire precautions can make a difference on whether you can find suitable cover.

As an example, The Guildhall at Higham recently suffered a blaze which firefighters were able to contain to a chimney. Had the fire spread to the thatch then the damage would have been more serious.

Skiing? Travel insurance is essential.

The Major — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:46:48 +0000

If you are going skiing or on a winter sports break at the end of this year, then insurance should be top of your list.

With the skiing season kicking off early due to heavy snow-fall, many UK holiday makers will be taking to the pistes. Many may be disappointed to find that their annual travel insurance supplied by their bank or credit cards will not cover the entire holiday.

Dedicated winter sports insurance policies will normally give additional cover over regular policies for things such as replacement skis, piste closure and search and rescue services.

Always remember to check the cover before you buy as a ‘winter break’ could become a ‘winter nightmare’.

Celebrities are starting to insure themselves for the event they they contract Swine Flu! Katherine Jenkins has set the trend with a policy that insures her for £1million for losses associated with the contraction of the virus.

It is not uncommon for celebrities to be insured by concert promoters for a number of potential risks, including death, causing concert programmes to be cancelled. In the case of Michael Jackson, his policy had an exclusion policy for death if blood results showed illegal drugs.

Illnesses are often covered in such contracts but not pandemic illnesses, hence the need for a swine flu clause.
