Home, sweet home

22nd December, 2005

Brits have proved that the old adage of 'there's no place like home' has a ring of truth to it, in a new survey.

A chunk of the population was asked which celebrity they would most like to swap houses with if they had the chance.

Nearly one in five consumers said the domestic bliss of TV chef Jamie Oliver's home appealed to them.

Madonna's country pad was also another popular choice, with just over one in ten saying they'd like to move into her home.

However, a whopping 11 per cent of consumers said they not want to live anywhere else other than their own little home.

Having arranged and decorated their home just as they like it, nearly ten per cent of Brits want to keep it just the way it is.

Make sure you have taken out adequate home insurance so that in the event of an accident, fire or theft you home and belongings will be protected.

David Jones, commercial director of First Active said: 'Jamie Oliver's kitchen proved to be the most popular celebrity home feature in our survey.

'And, whilst it may be just a pipe dream to swap homes with a celebrity, the reality is that you can make changes to your home to emulate that of your favourite star.'

So remember, if your home is exactly how you want it, protect it with adequate home insurance.
