Consumers can enjoy new home insurance deal from bank

One of the nation’s leading building societies, the Nationwide, has recently launched a new home insurance package that offers a number of benefits to consumers.

Home insurance is a popular and important form of insurance cover, and is designed to protect consumers from the financial losses associated with their home and their belongings. Many people claim on their home insurance each year for anything from flood damage and accidental damage to theft or loss.

According to recent reports the Nationwide is offering a special deal where consumers can enjoy substantial savings when they sign up for home and contents insurance cover as a bundle package. Although these insurance types are available as separate products most insurance companies offer s discount to consumers taking both as a bundle, which enables the consumer to enjoy increased convenience and lower premiums.

Officials from the Nationwide have stated that consumers that opt for this new insurance cover will be able to enjoy improved customer services and well as better cover. The cover can include unlimited cover on buildings cover and cover for items in the garden. Consumers are advised to familiarise themselves with what the policy covers before they sign up, as this will enable them to check that the cover is suited to their needs before they make a commitment.

Nationwide is so confident about this insurance product that it if offering up to £100 refund on the difference of better cover can be found for the same premium elsewhere. The cover offered by the building society will also cover students in the family that are living in student accommodations. Customers that pay by monthly instalments will not incur fees for the privilege of paying on a monthly basis.
