I am absolutely delighted with the service I received and also the price I paid, BMW quoted me a figure that was 5 times higher than the amount I paid Riviera for effectively the same product. So for anyone looking for Gap cover all I can say is give Duncan a ring and you won't be disappointed !!

Frequently asked questions
Home insurance, also known as homeowner’s insurance, is a type of insurance policy that provides financial protection for your home and its contents in the event of covered perils, such as fire, theft, vandalism, or certain natural disasters.
Home insurance typically covers the structure of your home, personal belongings, liability for injuries or property damage to others, and additional living expenses if you are temporarily displaced due to a covered loss.
Covered perils often include fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, theft, vandalism, explosions, falling objects, and certain water damage (e.g., from burst pipes). It’s essential to review your policy to understand specific coverage inclusions and exclusions.
Home insurance typically excludes routine wear and tear, pests, war, nuclear accidents, and intentional acts of the policyholder.
Unlike Motor insurance, home insurance is not legally required . However, if you have a mortgage, your lender will likely require you to maintain adequate coverage until the loan is paid off.
The coverage amount for your home insurance policy is typically based on the estimated cost to rebuild your home and replace its contents. This is not the same as the market value of your property.
An Excess is the amount you agree to pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in. For example, if you have a £1,000 excess and file a claim for £5000 in damages, you’ll pay £1,000, and the insurance company will cover the remaining £4,000.
Yes, there are ways to lower your home insurance premiums, such as increasing your excess, installing security systems, or making home improvements that reduce the risk of damage.
No, most standard home insurance policies do not cover home-based businesses. Separate business insurance or an extention on your existing policy may be necessary to protect your business assets adequately.
