We are delighted to launch some new upgrades to our Home Emergency and Legal Expenses cover, which coincide with the appointment of Property Guard, a trading name of Motorplus as the insurance supplier in these specialisms.

Our Home Emergency cover has increased to £1,000 and it now includes a boiler contribution of £500 if agreed with one of our approved engineers. This also extends to emergency repairs, including roof damage caused by flooding, burst pipes or water tanks that cause leaks, drain and toilet problems, as well as alternative accommodation, among other product improvements.

In addition, we have given an overhaul to our Legal Expenses cover too, with protection for clients now extended from £50,000 to £100,000; probate and tenancy disputes are also covered.

Under this product, employment disputes arising from clients’ contracts, traffic offences and personal claims for death, are supported. New cover also includes personal injury as well as clinical negligence and proceedings or appeals regarding clients’ tax affairs.

One of the key reasons for updating these products is to ensure we can help out those who require it.  For example, people may not realise that the reimbursements from jury service aren’t going to cover even the most basic of costs, so having a product that can support people while carrying out their civic duties is another string to our bow.

These product upgrades offer tangible benefits to advisers, as their added value gives them another opportunity to review their clients’ needs. It’s a really positive step in the right direction and we’re keen to continue improving our products regularly, to ensure that they always offer excellent value for money.
