Home insurance - Tips & Advice - Understanding home insurance
In 2001 there were some 23.5 million households in Great Britain, according to the latest figures available from the Office of National Statistics (ONS). These are accounted for in a number of ways, but the largest majority of these households, 81%, lived in a house or bungalow, with semi-detached and terraced being the most popular.
Of the 23.5 million households, 69% were owner-occupied, with the rest being let privately or through local authorities and housing associations. These figures alone should give you an idea of the sheer size of the UK home insurance market.
