EXPERTISE
Security requirements of Insurers can be bewildering. Full of
acronyms and differing standard setters there is a real concern
that when a cliam occurs policyholders may have innocently failed
to meet the security required by their Insurer

SECURITY |
|
| |
|
IMPROVE
YOUR PROPERTY |
|
|
| |
|
Use
the security you have over 60% of burglaries happen
because people don't use the security protection they
already have. |
|
|
| |
|
In
one third of all house burglaries, thieves get through
an open door or window without forcing an entry |
|
|
| |
|
Front
doors should be solid and have five lever mortice deadlocks
and hinge bolts fitted. This prevents thieves using
credit cards to gain entry. Get all outside doors fitted
with good key-operated security locks and bolts |
|
|
| |
|
Don't
leave valuables, including gadgets, lying around iPods,
mobile phones, portable sound systems, games consoles
(such as Wii players), are rich pickings for thieves |
|
|
| |
|
Leave
your car keys upstairs or not on display |
|
|
| |
|
Install
a safe for your most valuable items |
|
|
| |
|
You
may find having two safes useful as in the event that
you are forced to open one, the other can remain hidden.
Store less valuable items in the first safe |
|
|
| |
|
Hire
reputable trades people. For large projects ensure sub-contractors
are supervised by a professional project manager |
|
|
| |
|
Consider
installing movement activated or dawn to dusk lights
at the front and back of your home. These will help
deter prowlers |
|
|
| |
|
Ensure
your insurance policy limits are suitable. Know your
single item limits on valuables and ensure cover for
finea rt and damge to the home as a result of breaking
and entering is covered |

RECESSION
RELATED THEFT
We are anticipating the recession will lead to a sharp rise in
theft-related insurance claims in 2009, and we believe it is timely
to make our clients aware of the appropriate measures to protect
their homes and possessions.
We estimate that insurance claims for theft could double by the
end of 2009 for the UK insurance industry, following historical
industry data that shows the number of claims increasing in line
with rising levels of unemployment.
