Valuables in the home ‘need protecting’
People who took out mortgages for professionals due to the fact they were doctors, dentists or in other high-earning roles may find the latest new from Halifax Home Insurance relevant.
According to the company, almost 50 per cent of householders surveyed in a poll did not know how much their valuables were worth, while one in ten people have no home contents insurance to protect their valuables.
Furthermore, the research found that three-quarters of those questioned have never had their antiques or collectables valued by an expert.
Head of underwriting for Halifax Home Insurance David Rochester said: "Although in many cases collectables are unique and irreplaceable, most people would at least want to recoup any financial loss in the event of them being stolen or damaged."
Valuations should be undertaken every two years and homeowners should ensure they get a certificate to prove this, he added.
Other people who can benefit from mortgages for professionals include accountants and architects.
