Why Home and Contents Insurance For Over 50′s Is Right For You
Home and contents insurance is an important thing to have at any age, but for people over 50 it is especially important to protect what you have worked hard to build over the years. Your home and its contents did not appear magically overnight, rather after years of working and saving your hard earned money. Whether you are on a fixed income, retired or getting ready for retirement, the cost of home and contents insurance is minimal compared to the potential costs of any damages that could occur to your home and its valued contents. Home and contents insurance is a safety net that will be there when you need it.
A perk of getting older is that insurance companies take your maturity and experience into consideration when determining your rates so the cost is substantially lesser than someone who is a younger age. Signing up for an insurance policy specifically for people over 50 or changing your current plan to one specifically designed for people over 50 will guarantee you have the best rate and the best coverage for your home and its contents.
With the threats of global warming on the rise, the unpredictability of weather patterns present a growing hazard to Australian home owners. Another potential risk is an accidental fire, which can ravage not only your home but the contents inside it within minutes. Insurance specifically designed for Australians over the age of 50 will protect your retirement savings from being used for unexpected expenses such as damage to your home.
Over 50′s home and contents insurance will also protect your property from theft. Think of all the heirlooms and family keepsakes, the old photos and jewellery you have stored away in your home. While no monetary value can replace these things, knowing that your content losses will be covered in case of theft or damage will relieve part of the burden and stress incurred from these types of situations.
Many people think it will never happen to them, until it does. Ask any senior person whose home has been damaged by a fire or broken into in the middle of the night. If they didn’t have home and contents insurance, they do now, and if they already had it, they are grateful they made the choice to get it. With discounted rates based on age this type of insurance is the smart choice of cover for people aged over 50.
Home insurance in the UK? how does it work?
I am a tenant in an appartment in London with my boyfriend. I’d like to know if I need to get a home insurance for this appartment and what king of insurance (building or content???). I mean, if there is a fire, a window broken or a inundation problem, do we have to pay for it or is it the landlord? Idem in case of burglary?
Finally where are the best place to get it? I tried to get some quote from diverse companies (HSBC, Tesco Insurance…) but the price was crazy: around £250 per year. Is that always that expensive in the UK? (I used to live in Paris and it was less that £40 a year for a complete cover insurance).
Many thanks
You will require home contents insurance as you do not own your building and therefore have no insurable interest in it. Typically this comes with liability as an occupier and personal liability towards others for members of your household, money and cover for certain possession outside the home. The cover can be “standard” fire flood, water damage, vandalism theft / burglary etc and then “Accidental Damage cover. Many policies include this accidental damage on certain items such as TVs computes etc in the standard package. In addition you will have some form of cover for alternative accommodation should your home become unoccupiable due to insured peril.
The premium is calculate by applying a rate to the sum insured. Eg £30,000 contents are charged at £x premium per £1000 contents. This rate is based on the postcode of the flat. Central London is expensive.
I hope this assists.

Payment Premium Insurance (ppi) to be Axed by the Big Banks
The Financial services Authority (FSA) has fined banks and lenders for the mis-selling of Payment Premium Insurance (PPI) and for failing to treat their customers fairly. Payment Premium Insurance cover (PPI) is sold to borrowers to cover them against the risk that they may not be able to pay their monthly payment on a credit card balance, mortgage or personal loan; due top ill health, accident or redundancy. PPI has in the past been a major source of income for banks, finance companies and retailers .The commissions paid received would have been from 25% to 75% of the total payment for the protection policy taken out. This is outrageous!
Todate the following banks, finance companies and retailers have been fined:
- Capital One was fined £175,000
- HFC Bank, (trading as Beneficial Finance & Household Bank) was fined £1,085,000
- Alliance& Leicester was fined £7,000,000 (million)
- Liverpool Victoria was fined £840,000
- Egg Bank was fined £721,000 recently
- GE Capital Bank was fined £610,000
- Loans.co.uk was fined £455,000
- and other retailers.
A whole reclaim industry has grown on the back of Payment Premium Insurance being mis-sold and anyone with a personal loan, car finance or a mortgage should check if they have a single premium policy as they could claim their money back.. Some companies have been ruthless in their sales techniques whilst others have just mislead customers into believing that they would not get their loan or finance agreed if they did not take out PPI protection.
Finance companies and Banks have been guilty of selling big chunky sized Payment Premium Insurance policies; usually around £3,000 to £4500 which they have then added to the mortgage, finance or personal loan agreement. The payment for the PPI cover would then be added to the initial loan amount. This would increase the amount borrowed by a few thousand pounds and finally Interest would then be charged on the entire life of the loan. Outrageous!
The Competition Commission would like banks, finance companies and retailers to stop selling PPI policies for 14 days after the finance was arranged. In early October last year the Financial services Authority (FSA) said it would be stepping up its action over the mis-selling of Payment Premium Insurance (PPI) in the future. It is little wonder that Royal Bank of Scotland, Nat West Bank, Barclay, Lloyd Banking Group, Alliance & Leicester, and the Co-Operative Bank have announced that they intend to stop selling single block Payment Premium Insurance (PPI) with personal loans by the end of January. The FSA now hopes that other firms will follow the lead of the Big Banks and cease selling Payment Premium Insurance (PPI).
In view of this announcement by the banks to withdraw PPI you should consider Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance (MPPI). Protecting our home is a basic need during a recession especially one with so many uncertainties. If we are made redundant we still need money to pay our mortgage and bills for 13 weeks or three months under the new initiatives recently announced by the government before we qualify for their help and assistance.
Almost all of us harbour fears of being made redundant; we are concerned about how we would pay these bills and commitments and we fear repossession of our homes. Mortgage Payment Protection Insurance can help to protect our mortgage payments, personal life insurance and your building and contents insurance for up to 24 months if you cannot work due to unemployment or suffer a disability. We can have these policies set so that they pay out after thirty days back to day one. The Council of Mortgage Lenders is now encouraging all mortgage borrowers to consider the advantages of taking out independent mortgage payment protection insurance (MPPI).
Home contents insurance excess??
I have home contents insurance with Barclays which covers Accidental Damage.
I have an excess on this for £100.
I want to make a claim for a damaged carpet. I do not understand the excess. Who do I pay this to and when?
Uk only please.
The £100 is deducted from the amount they pay you for your claim ..
Say your Carpet is assessed as being worth £250 .. they will pay you £150 …
Usually the excess is PER CLAIM .. so, for example, IF you had a fire / flood, then you need to put ALL the items damaged on the SAME claim …
