Are you a keen collector? Have you stored away various items over the years or have you inherited some valuable collectors items from your parents or grandparents? if you have then you might be surprised to learn that these could be worth hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds.
Many families pass on items such as childrens books from generation to generation without realising how valuable they can be today. The vintage Ladybird books, for example, are often sold on auction sites such as Ebay for 10 or more. It doesn’t take many of these to create a collection worth hundreds of pounds.
Collecting various items is becoming more popular. Be it modern antiques, “Kitchenalia” or even a burgeoning wine collection, the values of these collection can soon add up and when added to the value of more standard home contents, could actually take the value of your contents over your existing threshold.
Maybe it’s time to investigate the value of your collection and investigate your home insurance too? Do you have enough home contents insurance in place?
Some of your collector items may also exceed the threshold for individual items in your standard home insurance policy. the total value of your home contents may also exceed that covered by your existing insurance so you might require specialist or high net worth insurance.
Using an insurance broker might be the best option as they bring their personal knowledge and experience, and, importantly, contacts, to bear to find the best deal for your more specialist needs. They will be able to speak directly to their contacts in the insurance companies and may well be able to negotiate reduced commission payments that reduce your premiums in order to win your business.
Another advantage of using an insurance broker is that they could look at all your insurance requirements – car, travel, pet, health – and then negotiate a package deal that may be better than you could get from having separate policies for each aspect of insurance. A broker could actually save you money on your total insurance costs.
