Students searching for a house contents insurance policy to cover them when they are away from their parent's home could do well to evaluate how much their belongings are worth.
This is according to Graeme Trudgill, technical and corporate affairs executive at the British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA), who explained that consumers should account for designer clothes, their computer, printer and gadgets like iPads - as when combined their value could be very high.
"People have a lot of stuff and you have got to make sure that you just add it all up. It doesn't take long - you can do a quick check and your insurance broker can help talk you through it to make sure you have covered everything," he continued.
However, students - of which UCAS states there will be 470,789 attending new courses this year - may not have to shell out for their own individual policy, as some providers offer home-from-home deals where parents extend their policy to cover the youngsters' possessions while they study elsewhere.
