Paymentshield is urging advisers to help them keep clients safe as we approach a seasonal peak in home security risks and property damage. You have the opportunity to demonstrate the value of your advice by helping your clients understand the ins and outs of their policies.
Winter is setting in and nights are becoming darker, the risk of burglary increases. What’s more, with Christmas on the horizon, the value of contents within people’s homes goes up, leaving them vulnerable to opportunistic thieves.
Paymentshield research, conducted by YouGov, found that:
- 30% of people admitted to leaving windows open when they leave their home
- 12% have left their doors unlocked
- 8% admit to leaving a key outside their property for use in an emergency
All of this leaves properties susceptible to unnecessary and easily avoidable thefts and may invalidate their home insurance.
Alerting clients to the small print of their policy clearly demonstrates your expertise and could avoid life-changing consequences for your clients.
