Most home insurance policies carry both a compulsory and voluntary excess, which is a fixed amount that you must pay out if you make a claim on your insurance policy.
Progressively, insurance companies have increased premiums higher than inflation rises, so it is now common for them to also impose higher excesses, which can mean when you make a claim you may end up paying a large amount towards the claim due to the excess amount on your policy.

What is Home excess insurance?
Home excess insurance pays your combined home insurance excess fees if you make a claim, so you aren’t left out of pocket.
For example if you had a fire in your utility room and your claim was £900, with your two policy excesses adding up to a total of £300, your insurance provider will pay only £600 of the cost if your claim is successful. This leaves you to make up the balance of £300.
As weather conditions worsen with more flooding and building damage occurring due to storms and gales, many households have had the need to make a claim, which normally means you paying an excess premium. Home insurance excess protection is provided for the reimbursement of the excess of your home insurance policy (main residence only so long as you are resident in the UK) in the event of you having to make a claim. Many household home insurance policies come with a mandatory excess of between £250 and £500 plus an option to increase this with a voluntary payment.
It is payable following a successful fault-based claim in relation to each settled claim up to the annual aggregate limit of your XS policy, in respect of claims arising from accidental damage, fire, theft, flood or vandalism. This home excess insurance policy covers one main residence only.
