Green-Fingered UK Homemakers Spend £20,000 on Gardens
Post Office Home Insurance recommends checking home insurance policy for garden cover
London, UK (PRWeb UK/PRWEB ) November 1, 2009 -- Green-fingered UK gardeners spend almost £20,0001on their gardens during their lifetime, with more than £5,000 of that figure spent on tools and garden items. Given this substantial investment, Post Office Home Insurance is recommending homeowners make sure they have appropriate home insurance in place to cover the costs of gardening equipment.
Although people throughout the UK invest significant sums in their gardens, Post Office Home Insurance warns that leaving valuable garden equipment on show could increase the risk of theft. Some proud homeowners may be underestimating how much garden items are worth , leaving themselves vulnerable by not having adequate home insurance in place.
Post Office Home Insurance suggests that homeowners take the time to ensure that their equipment is covered by home insurance policies. Keen gardeners or DIY enthusiasts should make sure the cost of their tools is provided for by their home contents insurance policy, particularly if these items are kept in a shed or likely to be left outdoors for extended periods. Post Office home contents insurance can cover equipment left in the open up to £1,000, and items stored in a shed or garage up to £2,000.
With the correct home insurance policy, anything from tools, barbecues and kids' toys could be covered, meaning homeowners can enjoy their gardens without worrying about equipment theft.
