Q » How does home insurance excess work in the UK?
02 Dec, 2025
A » In the UK, home insurance excess is the amount policyholders agree to pay towards a claim before the insurer covers the rest. It consists of a compulsory excess set by the insurer and a voluntary excess chosen by the policyholder. Opting for a higher voluntary excess typically reduces premiums, but it's crucial to ensure that the total excess is affordable in the event of a claim.
