Builder’s crane topples over and destroys brand new home

home icon

Sounds unlikely? Well it’s true! A 50-ton crane toppled over and destroyed a million pound home that builders had only just finished. Stories like this (reported by The Mail Online in March 2008) may raise a smile, and we all think it will never happen to us, but in fact, these headlines show that accidents can happen to any home, anywhere, and at anytime.

So having a solid buildings insurance policy is vitally important. And not just because your mortgage lender says you have to - but because of the devastation you could face if your home was damaged.

Privilege buildings insurance covers your home against all the major risks – fire, storm or floods, lightning, explosion, water or oil damage, subsidence, theft or vandalism. And it’s not just the structure of your house (the roof, walls, patio, driveway etc.) that’s covered; our buildings insurance also protects the permanent fixtures and fittings in your home, such as kitchens, bathrooms and fitted wardrobes.

For full details of standard and Platinum cover, you can read our Privilege Home Insurance Policies online.

We’re here to help all our buildings insurance customers if the worst does happen (of course we hope it doesn’t). So when you have a few minutes to spare, get a buildings insurance quote from Privilege, and carry on chuckling at those headlines!
