Take photos of what you have and if posible pics of cerial numbers ect. make sure it time and date stamped. I do it every couple of years complete list off of everything backed up with photos. A lot of peops get cheap insurance which only covers £20k for contents. I have £50k cover
20k wouldnt cover my waldrobe expecially with new for old cover. Got clothes from 20 years ago

ps back the files up external to House lol. my duplicate list and pics are on my mums pc at hers and my dads at his

as above, insurance companies dont always expect people to have recipts, cos things are given as gifes, got s/h and what not, but get as much info as poss as said above.
for example, i have pictures, names/models and s/ns of pretty much everything of high value that could be nicked to back me up should i need it.
if you have any worries about it, call your insurance company and ask them what they require should a claim be made and make sure you got it

Mine wont except this
as proof of ownership.
Tried telling them that im no good at photography so drawn it instead, felt it more realistic.
