In trying to attract new customers Barclays are offering a variety of discounts to homeowners in order to sell their contents, buildings insurance and combined cover policies. For instance significant discounts can be earned if you have not claimed on your current policy for a period of 5 years or more. There are also incentives for homeowners who buy online or who buy both buildings insurance and contents cover.

To remove the complexity of calculating the cost to rebuild a house, Barclays automatically insure each building up to £500,000 as standard. The same principle applies to contents where up to £50,000 is covered. If the limits specified are not sufficient Barclays offer an alternative product known as “Finer Insurance” which is aimed at homeowners where the building can be insured for over £500,000 and contents for around £80,000. There are additional benefits for “Finer Insurance” customers including travel, holiday home insurance, valuation services for valuable possessions and cover for golf fans if they shoot a hole in one and end up with a drinks bill in the bar afterwards!

All Barclays home insurance policyholders benefit from a 24 hour claims helpline and the option to upgrade their insurance to include Home Emergency which covers central heating failures, plumbing and electricity failures and legal expenses protection.

Please refer to Barclays for a full list of terms and conditions or contact the company concerned for more information.
