Unfortunately no, by law you are not allowed to drive on your own if you hold a provisional UK licence. For your own safety you must always be accompanied by a fully licenced driver, who has held their full licence for a minimum of 2 years.

To calculate how much you should insure your property for, you need to calculate the rebuilding costs of your home. This is the amount of money needed to rebuild your home from scratch.

When calculating this amount you will need to take into account the price of labour and materials as well as the cost of the site clearance. The calculation should also include any outbuildings/ sheds boundary walls located on your property.

Please note: that the current market value of your home is not the rebuilding cost of the property, as it takes into account the land on which your home is built. If in doubt we recommend visiting the Association of British Insurers website and using their calculator to work out the rebuilding cost.
