In the run-up to Valentines Day, Halifax is offering a £50 ‘thank you’ to customers buying combined buildings and contents insurance .
The home insurer will also be giving customers £50 for every year they renew their cover, provided they remain claim-free. With one in five people planning to buy or receive an expensive piece of jewellery on Valentine’s Day, Halifax said making sure valuables are protected with a good insurance policy is essential.
David Rochester, head of underwriting at Halifax Home Insurance, commented: “When planning a romantic proposal, insuring a valuable gift is not necessarily the first thing that springs to mind, so we are reminding people to make sure expensive jewellery is fully covered both inside and outside the home.”
Halifax further recommends that expensive articles are valued regularly, that insurers are informed of any items of high worth and anyone with pieces worth over £1,500 in value take out additional specified items cover.
