Castle Cover Partners with Towergate to Cater for Non-Standard Home Insurance Risks

    DORSET, ENGLAND, July 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Customers who often struggle to secure cover after being affected by circumstances such as flooding or subsidence will now be able to insure their homes with Castle Cover. The partnership with Towergate means that Castle Cover can cater for a host of 'non-standard' risks, including specialist construction types, unoccupied properties, let properties, claim histories, and areas affected by subsidence or flooding.

The partnership will allow Castle Cover to provide home insurance to a wider scope of customers over 50. Simon Stanney, Head of Product at Castle Cover, says they are happy to open their doors to cater for those with unique requirements:

"A lot of people who will require our non-standard product will do so because of circumstances out of their control. They may have been the unfortunate victims of flooding, subsidence, or could simply have a type of property that differs slightly from the norm. We're delighted to be able to offer these people cover when they will have often been refused elsewhere. We look forward to a successful partnership with Towergate in doing so."

Towergate is Europe's largest independently owned insurance intermediary and a driving force within the industry. Offering over 200 specialist insurance products, it is underpinned by strong relationships with some of the UK's leading insurance companies.

Scott Banks, Managing Director at Towergate Underwriting Household said: "This partnership will strengthen Castle Cover's range of insurance to the over 50s and we are very happy to be a part of that. Our aim is to find the right kind of cover for people who may find it difficult to insure their homes through other providers and I am sure that we will see success with Castle Cover."
