Bride and groom encouraged to 'check insurance'

Wed 16th May 2007

With the wedding season soon to get into full flow in the coming months, NFU Mutual is encouraging people to assess their home contents cover soon after.

Many couples will be expecting to receive a number of gifts for their wedding, but research indicates that less than one-in-ten people check their level of cover following a wedding.

The gift list market was estimated to be worth some £267.2 million in 2006 and is continuing to grow, making the arranging of a suitable cover plan even more important.

In order to benefit those people tying the knot, NFU Mutual will increase the amount of home contents cover in the household by ten per cent or £5,000, whichever is greater, for the month before and after nuptials.

David Oram, personal insurance underwriting manager at NFU Mutual, said: "There is a great deal of excitement in the run up to a wedding and naturally, the practicalities of checking your home insurance can sometimes be forgotten.

"Although NFU Mutual offers newlyweds the luxury of a temporary automatic increase, once the honeymoon period is over, we urge couples to review their levels of cover," he added.
