A new home insurance policy aimed at properties undergoing refurbishment has been launched.

The insurance product, issued by Marsh, is aimed at providing more protection for people who are undertaking work on their home, reports Insurance Daily.

According to the news provider, the new home insurance product offers greater cover for hazards such as fire, falling trees and flooding .

The policy also covers the homeowner and contractor preventing wrangling over responsibility should a loss occur, the website states.
