Whilst having a 'can't be bothered' may mean that homeowners have one less concern to worry about when renewing their insurance policy, such action could leave them under more monetary pressures.

In a recent study carried out by Tescocompare it was indicated that just under two-thirds (64 per cent) of Britons reached the decision to opt with their current building and contents insurance provider when they were last required to renew their premium. Such a proportion comes despite almost 44 per cent of People facing an increase in the cost of their property insurance policy. Furthermore, it was indicated around four million of such people have witnessed their premiums go up at a faster rate than that of inflation. Meanwhile, the price comparison website indicated that with the typical insurance policy worth some 283 pounds, had those approaching the renewal of their premium opted to switch for a cheaper policy then they would have collectively saved some 26 million pounds.

The research by Tescocompare also noted that only just over a fifth (22 per cent) of consumers questioned who were facing a price increase above the rate of inflation thought about switching provider. Out of such consumers, just eight per cent found that they could not get the same level of cover at a lower price.

On top of paying out higher amounts of cash than is necessary for a home insurance policy, it could be possible that consumers find that they are developing difficulties in managing additional constraints on their expenditure. Such areas may well include credit and store cards, loans, mortgage repayments and household bills.

Additionally, it is quite probable that a large number of consumers are willing to place themselves under further financial pressures. Of those who opted to stay with their provider, 48 per cent feel that they had enough time to change supplier well in advance of of being hit with a price increase although they eventually ended up staying put.

Spokesperson for Tescocompare, Paul Baxter, said "The message behind this research is clear - many millions sleepwalk through their insurance renewal allowing their insurer to increase premiums unchallenged. Regardless of how loyal you are to your current home and contents insurer - you should shop around at each renewal to make sure you get the cheapest and most appropriate insurance for you."

For those who are seeking to carry out repairs to their property or purchase major household items - freezers, dining table and chairs for example - making use of cheap loan might be a recommended path to take. The additional financial help that a cheap loan brings may also help borrowers to take out a comprehensive home insurance policy which is also competitively priced to ensure that such objects are insured.

A loan could also be of help for consumers requiring to insure their pets. In a new study carried out Sainsbury's Finance indicated that 11 million Consumers do not have cover for their cat or dog, with around 4.6 million of such consumers believing such a premium is unimportant. Meanwhile, should people not have insurance for their animal they may have to dip into their pockets should their four-legged friend fall ill, with the typical bill for vet treatment indicated to cost about 300 pounds.
