Home Insurance: How much will my premium increase if I make a claim?

Hi All.

If I made a (approximately) £1100 claim on a damaged laptop would it increase my premium in subsequent years?

A repair attempt was made on a laptop that went badly.

Thanks

J.

    Probably.

    Not sure that you could claim for a botched repair job though.

    Make sure you are covered for this before you speak to insurers. It will be logged as a claim.
