Garden insurance neglected by homeowners

Fri, 17 Apr 2009

As many as two in three gardening enthusiasts in the UK do not know if their gardens are insured, according to a new study conducted by M&S Money .

Now that spring is here, millions of homeowners are getting back into their gardens and it has been estimated that they will be tending to plants and flowers that are worth an average total of £721. However the research from M&S Money found that even though 17 per cent of those polled revealed that they know someone who has had plants, shrubs or even trees stolen from their property, only one-third of householders will actually check to see whether their gardens are insured.

Judith Roberts, M&S insurance manager, said: "Householders often spend thousands of pounds securing their home to protect their family and property. However, despite the huge amount of time and money invested in many gardens, security levels are often very poor, making them an attractive target for thieves and vandals."
