Burglary Insurance

Compensation for loss or damage of property and stock following burglary or housebreaking.

Overview

Theft causes financial loss and lasting unease. Burglary Insurance compensates for property and goods lost or damaged through burglary or housebreaking, so a break-in does not become the end of a business.

The policy suits shops, warehouses, offices and homes, and can be written alongside property cover as a single package.
