Household & Home Insurance Claims - Advice for Flood Victims



Householders and home owners hit by last month's floods have today been advised that they do not need to employ the services of a paid intermediary to help them settle their home insurance claims. The recommendation has come from floods recovery minister John Healy, who added that people who choose to sign up for third-party claims assistance may end up out of pocket at a time when they need their full household insurance payout to help them turn their damaged property back into a home.

Instead householders should be aware they can deal directly with their home insurance provider or household insurance broker without incurring charges and that free, independent advice is also available from Citizen's Advice and the Association of British Insurers (ABI).

"There is no need to use a middleman who might offer to settle home insurance claims in return for a cut of the payout," stated Mr Healy.

The Association of British Insurers recently estimated that the cost of home insurance and business claims resulting from the floods in June and July could hit the £2.5 billion mark.

Householders and home owners could save up to 15% on their home insurance quote when they take combined buildings and contents cover with Oakland Insurance.
