Some things are worth far more than their price tag. 💍

While insurance can’t replace the sentimental value of a treasured piece of jewellery, it can help protect its financial value.

Make sure high-value items are specified on your policy, insured for the correct replacement value and supported by an up-to-date valuation.

It’s a small check that could save a lot of heartache later.

A communal swimming pool is a great amenity, but it also comes with serious safety and liability risks.

Insurance is there to protect you from financial shocks, but that doesn't necessarily mean claiming for every small loss.

For major events that could significantly impact your finances, short-term insurance provides essential protection. For smaller, manageable losses, paying out of pocket may sometimes make more sense, particularly when the cost is close to your policy excess.

The right balance depends on your financial position, risk tolerance and the way your policy is structured. Your excess should also be realistic and affordable when you need to claim.

A regular review with your broker can help ensure your cover and excesses continue to work for you, giving you the right protection where it matters most.

Storms, floods, hail, strong winds and fires can cause serious damage, but a little preparation can make a big difference.

Before severe weather arrives, take a few simple steps to reduce your risk. Clear gutters and drains, secure loose items, trim trees near your property and make sure your roof, walls, gates and other structures are properly maintained.

It’s also important to know what your insurance covers, including your limits, excesses and any specific conditions that may apply to weather-related claims.

Keep your policy documents and an up-to-date record of your belongings somewhere safe and accessible. If disaster does strike, report the claim as soon as possible and take reasonable steps to prevent further damage.

Preparation can't stop the storm, but it can help you recover.
