Core concepts
Concept 1
Household insurance distinguishes buildings, contents, personal possessions, liabilities, assistance and optional extensions.
Exam cue: Classify the property or liability interest before choosing buildings, contents or another section.
Concept 2
Specialist risks such as home working, holiday homes, high-value households and let property require suitable products and underwriting information.
Exam cue: Check location, occupancy, use, construction, security and value when assessing household risk.
Concept 3
Claims decisions connect insured property, peril, basis of settlement, excess, limits, evidence and fraud controls.
Exam cue: Apply the relevant peril, exclusion, limit and settlement basis to the exact damaged item and circumstances.
