In addition to residential home insurance, More Than offers insurance for landlords, plus pet, vehicle, travel and life cover.
Overview of the cover provided by More Than home policies
As standard, More Than’s home insurance policy covers both buildings and contents insurance – buildings up to £1,000,000 with £30,000 alternative accommodation, contents up to £100,000 in the event of fire, flood, theft, loss and damage. Separate cover for either buildings or contents is also available.
In addition, More Than offers a number of optional extras. These include home emergency cover; up to £1,000 towards urgent repair work around the house. You can also choose to add features such as cover for loss or theft of keys, Christmas cover to the value of £7,500, and up to 60 days protection away from the home for bicycles.
How much does home insurance from More Than cost?
Though your individual circumstances will affect the cost of home insurance, More Than claims that 10% of its new customers who joined between October 2016 and March 2017 paid £70 for their combined cover.
Naturally, optional extras will increase the price of the premium, however on balance you may feel it better to pay a slightly higher fee in return for more comprehensive cover.
