If you own a high value property worth over £800,000, or items in your home that are worth a great deal, such as works of art, antiques or jewellery, standard home insurance may not fit your requirements. Legal & General has sought to address this gap in the market with the launch of Enhanced home insurance.

Added benefits

Enhanced insurance customers at L&G are set to benefit from a range of extras, including being able to talk directly to their own, dedicated claims handler; an insurance expert with the experience and authority to make decisions in order to get claims settled as quickly as possible.

The claims line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, high-value items were covered as standard with no need to list individual items such as jewellery and watches valued under £10,000, or £15,000 for other valuable items. Customers are also covered worldwide for loss or damage to property while they’re away from home.

Mark Holweger, director, L&G’s general insurance business, commented that the new insurance complements the existing cover options available to customers.
