Under 25s at risk of underinsurance

A survey has found that younger generations are more likely to under insure their home contents.

The study identified the three main pitfalls when it comes to contents insurance:

• Being unaware that some policies have a single-item limit

• Not knowing how to accurately calculate the value of possessions

• Not having an up-to-date contents valuation.

68% of respondents aged under 25 were likely to be caught out by all three of these mistakes, while the same only applied to 17% of over 55s. So, many young adults have not sufficiently protected their possessions and, should they need to make a claim, they risk not receiving the full pay-out.

As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.
