  1. I have a box with a company that isn't a bank. The box is £125/year. They offer free insurance up to £10000 for the first year. More than £10000 is £5/£1000 (IIRC). They advise taking photos of what you're storing but they don't want to know any details, just how much you want to insure the contents for.

    Security to get access to my box includes an iris scan.

    Advantage of keeping your items at home; cheaper, easily accessible, etc. However, your home insurance company may not want to insure depending on value and how secure your property is and you'd probably have to declare the items so the insurance company employees could possibly have access to value and security details.

    Obvious disadvantage is getting burgled and even decoy safes might not protect against some lowlife who knows you have valuables. They could break in while you're at home and "persuade" you to hand them over.

    I have a safe deposit box as I wouldn't be comfortable with my whole stack in the house although I do have a small amount hidden outside the village.

    Con's are cost and convenience.

    Each to their own I guess.
