Sponsored by Naked - The new way to insure your stuff
Sumarie Greybe, a co-founder of Naked, speaks to me about household insurance. How it works and how you're meant to calculate your contents cover that you need.
Starting off is the all important fact that you need to insure yourself for the full value of all your contents. Even old items that you don't really care about. Not doing this will affect the claims payout as you'll only receive a percentage of the value of lost items. Sumarie explains this well and here is also an article I wrote on household insurance.
