I’m renting - is insurance important?

If you are asking yourself if you need insurance while renting. The answer is yes! Think about everything you own. All the bills you have to pay. Would you be covered to replace everything and your income if you couldn’t work? Here is where insurance helps!

There are different types of insurance. From income protection. To content insurance. (Think of your furniture, electronics, jewellery, clothes, and more!). And of course. Car insurance. The definition of insurance is to reduce risk. 

Research  shows that over half of private renters in the UK have no form of financial protection in place. Despite one-third needing to take extended time off work.

You have to ask. Could you last one month and still support your family? What about if you couldn’t work for an extended period?

There are approximately 15.8 million people privately renting in the UK. According to the FCA. Some common reasons why people don’t have insurance include the following:

-    Not even thinking about it
-    Not feeling they have a reason to take out protection
-    Cost

We are here to help with all these factors. And we’ve started on the first point! We’ve explained why you do for the second point. And finally, contact us today to find a price that will suit your budget. 

If you’ve seen a loved one need insurance. Or maybe you have children now and have more to think about. We can help you with policies that protect you. Reduce risk. And ensure you aren’t financially vulnerable. 

Do you have family you think could use this advice? Feel free to forward them this email and our contact details. 

Buying an insurance policy against serious illness or loss of income is for everyone. Guarantee financial security, meet outgoings, and keep a roof over your head at any stage of life!
