Uninsured homeowners need not suffer financial loss

Posted 2007-12-13

Lloyds TSB, a financial services provider, noted that when England won the Rugby World Cup tournament in 2003, a rush of related home insurance claims were received.

One of the oddest claims received by Lloyds TSB was from a man who had set fire to his living room wall when an England flag was waved too close to an ashtray. 

“We covered these claims because our customers had opted for accidental damage on their home insurance policy,” he added.

Considering the numerous and often freak ways in which homes can suffer major damage, homeowners should be aware that if they have not chosen to cover accidental damages on their insurance, one alternative is homeowner loans which may be a way to cover the cost of repairs.

Managing director Phil Loney added, “The tension of the Rugby World Cup final four years ago clearly took its toll on the nation’s homes.”

By securing a home loan against property, Britons could access additional funds when unexpected damages occur.
