Direct Line offers home insurance discount

Households looking to cut the costs of home insurance during the recession may want to take advantage of Direct Line's new offer.

New customers to the firm who purchase both buildings and contents cover as one package will be able to get a third off their home insurance bill to help them cut outgoings over the autumn months.

The company said that people will be glad to know that they can still get quality protection for their property and belongings from a dependable home insurance provider at a lower cost.

Andrew Lowe, head of Direct Line Home Insurance, added: With summer holidays just gone and the Christmas season coming up quickly, everyone is looking for a chance to save some money.

The Association of British Insurers recently said that policy providers should always be informed of any extra dwellers who take up residence in a property to avoid hefty costs if an accident occurs.
