Post Office extends home insurance protection against Christmas crime

UK-based Post Office Financial Services has announced that it is increasing its home insurance cover by 10% during the month of December 2008.

Post Office said that its contents insurance automatically increases the level of cover at no extra cost during major celebrations such as Christmas to ensure that any gifts or extra valuables in your home at this time are covered.

The company said that the new customers can now claim GBP50 cashback when taking out a combined Post Office buildings and contents insurance policy in branch until March 31, 2009.

Emma Baunach, head of home insurance at Post Office, said: "At this time of year people often have more valuables in their homes than usual. Over Christmas you don't want to be worrying about whether or not you have enough cover on your home insurance, so we have made the extra cover automatic to make sure you are protected."
