Did you know that about 25% of homeowners in the UK don’t have buildings insurance? This is a surprising finding from a recent report by Confused.com.
In 2022, the UK was home to approximately 28.2 million households, marking a 6.1% increase over the past decade, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It’s estimated that 25% of these homes lack any form of home insurance, which suggests that as many as 7.5 million properties might be currently unprotected.
What the Report Tells Us:
- Growing Market: The home insurance market in the UK is growing and is expected to be worth £4.1 billion by the end of 2024.
- Buying Online: More than half of home insurance policies were bought online in 2023-24.
- High Coverage: The UK has one of the highest rates of home insurance in Europe.
Why Buildings Insurance Matters: Buildings insurance is crucial because it covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your home if it gets damaged. Without this insurance, you might have to pay a huge amount out of your own pocket for repairs or even a complete rebuild.
