Confused.com’s head of home insurance Mark Gabriel said: “The consequences of having insufficient home cover are potentially severe.
Many insurers will offer home emergency cover as an optional extra on their contents policies – you will either be charged extra on your standard annual premium, or pay a monthly subscription fee.
“But make sure you shop around for cover as premiums can vary greatly between providers; a comparison site is a great way to do this.”
