Q9. Which list, A, B or C. correctly assesses the protection for Norma’s flat?
|
M OK. That’s not a problem. Now I need to ask some things about the flat. What floor is it on? W Well, I wanted a 1st floor flat but this is a ground floor one. I can use the garden with it though. M Hmm. Yes but the premium will be a little higher because of course a burglar finds more it difficult to enter a flat on the 1st floor. W Oh. I never thought about that. M What about safety measures in the flat? W Well, there are two different keys for the front door and one of them is a dead bolt so that’s quite good. I’ve been to the local shop and ordered a burglar alarm too which has a motion sensor and everything. It’s not in yet but it will be soon. M That’s good. W The windows are quite new and all double glazed so, like all new windows nowadays, they have extra locks on them so that makes it quite secure. M That’s good too. So really it’s reasonably safe. That will make a difference on the premium . Do you know if there’s a smoke alarm fitted in that flat? W I never thought of that. I think it’s the law now if you’re renting so there must be. M Well, that’s about it. Let’s look now. I’ve got two quirks for you. First the car and then the household. 750 pounds fully comp. for the car or 500 pounds third party, fire and theft. The contents is £100. |
