Getting Hitched Get Your Present List Covered



As many marital homes across the country accept gifts and house expensive outfits for the big day, the comparison website urges all homeowners to be aware of small print that can occur in policy documents around the value of contents. Very few providers offer unlimited contents insurance and often there are upper limits included on single item values. For the home insurance (http://www.confused.com/home-insurance) policies that are not unlimited, the provider requires the customer to notify them of significant changes in value.





Below, the price comparison website explains the different types of policies available and the implications to the homeowner:



Many insurance providers offer 'ssum insured's insurance. This accounts for around 99% of the market. This means that the policy holder is responsible in notifying the insurance provider should the contents of their home change dramatically. For policyholders who fail to do this, they can be caught out at claims process as they find themselves underinsured.



Some providers offer unlimited home contents insurance (http://www.confused.com/home-insurance) meaning homeowners do not have to worry about the value of contents increasing - such policies are rare within the market place. Even within these policies, single item limits apply so knowing the small print and maximum limits within your policy is essential.



Darren Black, head of house insurance (http://www.confused.com/home-insurance) at Confused.com said: 'sAs couples prepare for their nuptials the accumulative cost of wedding dresses, suits, rings, gifts and bridesmaid gowns can be overlooked in the chaos of a big day. More crucially these items can be left in an empty home as the happy couple leave the country for their honeymoon. With times as they are, it is really important people are not caught out. As the finer details of the big day are checked and double checked, I encourage everyone to add checking the insurance contract to the list.'s



It is also worth noting some insurers require items of significant value to be specified. Items such as wedding bands and engagement rings can fall under this category. Such items are also likely to be taken away from the homes so ensure cover is adequate should they be lost or stolen. The key message is to check the small print and say I do's to insurance as well as your partner.
