Household assets worth up to £ 266bn ($ 141 ) are being left uninsured in the UK , according to new figures. Mr Shepherd said people should ensure that when their policy is due for renewal they review the value of their possessions to make sure they are adequately covered. The Association of British Insurers ( The Association of British Insurers ) estimates the total value of possessions in Scotland homes is around £950bn, but 35,000 of households have no contents insurance. The organisation says the average home in the UK has contents worth £ 141 , but many people underestimate what their possessions are worth. It points out the average cost of home contents insurance is just £ 141 a year.
