Halifax’s own claims data shows the average cost of a house fire claim last year was £8,452.00.
Vicky Emmott from Halifax Home Insurance said: “With 200 house fires happening every day, there’s definitely more that could be being done to protect people’s homes and families from the risks of fire. We are urging all householders to spend a bit of time during Fire Safety Week checking their homes and improving fire safety measures.”
