Halifax Home Insurance car boot sale advice

Halifax Home Insurance has advised Britons heading to car boot sales to be wary when it comes to buying electrical items.

According to the insurer, 65 per cent of the UK has attended a car boot sale in the last five years.

However, 30 per cent of bargain hunters revealed that they had bought electrical goods that turned out to be faulty.

Vicky Emmott, senior manager of underwriting at Halifax Home Insurance, said that the figures reveal that "all that glitters is not gold".

"Car booters should be particularly wary of second hand electrical items, especially since electrical fires are the root cause of 18 per cent of all house fires each year," she warned.

Last month, Halifax Home Insurance warned Brits packing their picnic hampers that 11 million adults in the UK have fallen victim to a robbery in an open place in the past five years.
