Pack your children off to university.
16th August 2005
£9,000 of contents cover and FREE legal helpline for policyholders’ children at university.
Online legal documents, legal fees and mediation services also available to students, for example should they get into a dispute with a landlord (as part of the legal services add-on).
Save £163 compared to the average cost of a specialist student policy. 1
With the rising costs of student fees and accommodation, parents can face a huge financial burden when their children go away to university. MORE TH>N home insurance is helping ease the costs for parents by making 15% of their own household insurance cover (£9,000) available to their offspring, free of charge, while the children are studying at college or university.
Student houses are one of the most common targets for burglars due to their relatively poor security and are quite often filled with high value items such as computers and mobile phones. The average student has £4,000 worth of contents 2.
A MORE TH>N home insurance policy also gives free legal advice. This is particularly useful if a dispute arises with a landlord, for example, which MORE TH>N finds is a common cause of calls from students parents. The 24-hour legal helpline is manned by qualified legal professionals and available for any family member to use.
David Pitt, Head of Insurance at MORE TH>N, commented: "Parents can have a lot to think about when their children go away to university to ensure they are financially secure and protected against any eventuality. With our free ...cont/
student’s possessions cover, parents can rest assured that their children's valuable belongings are properly covered. Our legal helpline can also help parents should they need to deal with sorting out leases or disputes with landlords.”
The Family Legal Services section of MORE TH>N’s home insurance costs £1.50 a month and provides families with a comprehensive package including:
Cover up to £50,000 for legal fees : for example, should their son or daughter get involved in a dispute with their landlord or a third party, MORE TH>N could give the parents advice and act on their behalf.
Access to over 200 professionally written interactive legal documents, e.g. ‘ demand for repayment of deposit’ letter.
Access to professional advice, mediation and representation at employment tribunals or in court for any member of the family.
Notes :
1. MORE TH>N could potentially save students £163 compared to the average cost of a specialist student possessions policy (based on £8,000 of cover, including legal expenses, cover for keys and locks and accidental damage: prices correct as at 10 August 2005 ):
