You can count on churchill for 25% off home insurance

(Or up to 50% off if you haven't claimed in the last 5 years)

06/01/2009

Households looking for home insurance this January should look to Churchill for a New Year bargain. All new customers will receive a 25% discount off both buildings and contents insurance – and if they haven't claimed in the last five years, they could receive up to 50% discount*.

Martin Scott, Head of Churchill Home Insurance comments; "Householders are under a lot of financial pressure due to the current economic climate and the expense of Christmas. But now, more than ever, households can't afford to go without comprehensive home insurance."

Scott continues; "Many people don't realise that not only are they covered if they are the victims of incidents such as floods, a burst water pipe or burglary, they can also add in extras such as legal cover which might help if they are made redundant."

In addition to standard buildings and contents insurance, Churchill offers a range of extras that customers can add on to their policies. These include accidental damage cover, personal possessions cover and home emergency legal protection.

Churchill's Family Legal Protection feature helps cover householders for a range of potentially expensive problems and the cover can be added simply when householders buy online or over the phone. The benefits are:

• Legal costs up to £50,000
• Cover for you and all your family who normally live with you
• Cover for employment, contract, property and inheritance disputes, personal injury, tax protection, legal defence as an employee and motoring prosecutions
• Cover for your salary while you attend jury service
• No excess to pay

Churchill Home Insurance offers the following cover as standard:

• Buildings cover of £500,000 and contents cover of £50,000
• Property owners' liability up to £2,000,000 and public liability up to £2,000,000
• Alternative accommodation for householders and their pets
• Up to £15,000 worth of cover for high-risk items not listed separately on the policy
• Up to £2,000 worth of cover for theft from garages or outbuildings

Churchill won the Your Money Award 2008 for the Best Direct Home & Contents Provider.
