Home Insurance -
Students see sense! - 21/04/2008

Moving out for Uni or college or are you already there? Either way you are responsible for covering your costs; from food to fuel, internet to insurance it's all in your hands now. If you haven’t already thought about it, it is essential you do now. Interestingly contents insurance isn’t a priority to your average student, possibly because they are more interested in the parties, alcohol and trying to complete 6 months worth of work in 2 days!
Nonetheless home insurance should be up there as one of the essentials of student living. Cash strapped as most students are the question they have to ask is whether they could afford to replace their valuables were they to fall victim to theft? Student burglary costs on average £900 and the items that usually go missing are laptops, computers and other electrical items.
Essential items to your average student and expensive to replace especially if you are on a budget, whereas many companies including Homelet will cover the costs of your items for the price of a beer per week! Knowing how much beer is consumed in student digs it only makes sense to take out cover, simply for the peace of mind that were the worst to happen you would receive replacements quickly. Surely it's better to have the burglary cause a hiccup as opposed to a hernia because you had the sense to see the value in your valuables.
