Picture this – it’s 11 o’clock at night, you’ve just finished watching the latest film release and are heading to bed when you’re startled by a phone call. It’s your tenant, they’ve had a complete breakdown of water supply and they don’t know what to do – this could be a case for home emergency cover!
Thankfully, you’re a plumber – so you grab your trusty tool kit, head out into the night and after a few hours of tinkering, you manage to solve the problem.
In the early hours of the morning you head home and go to bed. No sooner has your head hit the pillow when your alarm goes off and its time to get up for work. . But what if you are not a plumber and you, like many people, have forgotten the ancient art of DIY?
Home emergency cover does exactly what it says on the tin, whilst it doesn’t cover you if you’ve forgotten to get milk in (a very valid emergency!), it does cover you for the breakdown in your property’s essential household utilities. If something goes wrong with your property that could deem your house uninhabitable, this is where it kicks in.
With 24/7 365 days a year coverage, home emergency cover is there to help you out. If your tenant has an emergency, they can call the helpline and an approved contractor will be on the way.
So, imagine it’s Christmas day and you’re just sitting down to eat your dinner when suddenly your tenant’s boiler breaks down. With home emergencies included, your tenant can simply ring the helpline and you won’t be disturbed!
