Is Your Garden Protected by Your Home Insurance?
Overview
With longer and hotter summers becoming the norm in the UK, we're investing more time and money in our gardens. According to the Horticultural Trades Association, we spend over £3 billion annually on garden furniture, plants, and equipment. However, many people are unaware that their gardens might not be covered by home insurance against theft, loss, or damage.Understanding Garden Insurance
Protecting your garden should be a priority, considering the investments involved. Garden furniture, ornaments, and high-tech barbecues can add up, and without insurance, you might face significant expenses if something goes wrong.Gardens, unfortunately, are not as secure as homes, leaving them vulnerable to theft and vandalism. Recent research from Direct Line shows that one in ten homeowners are likely to experience garden theft. Commonly stolen items include hanging baskets, lawnmowers, gnomes, furniture, tools, and even plants. Nationwide reports that garden furniture, bicycles, ornaments, and statues are frequent targets. Even clothes on a washing line aren’t safe!
Additional Risks
Beyond theft, gardens are susceptible to weather damage from snowstorms and gales, as well as vandalism. These risks highlight the importance of understanding your insurance coverage thoroughly.Reviewing Your Insurance Policy
Examine your home insurance policy to determine the garden coverage it provides?"if any. Only a few insurers offer garden coverage as a standard option, and it often comes with limitations. While sheds and outbuildings might be covered, the rest of the garden typically isn’t.If your garden isn’t covered, consider switching insurers. Take inventory of your garden and estimate the cost of replacing everything, including plants. You might be surprised by the total value!
In summary, ensuring your garden is protected by insurance is a wise move. Understanding your coverage options can save you from unexpected financial burdens.
