ad | When we left London for Suffolk four years ago, we had a fairly clear idea of how the renovation would unfold. Spoiler: it didn’t quite go to plan 😂 One in four home renovations go over budget*, according to recent research from @avivauk - and ours definitely did. When the money ran dry, we learnt new skills, got stuck into more of the work ourselves and saved for the moments that mattered most: a staircase in time for our first family Christmas here, and a garden ready for summers spent with the people we love. Our home still isn’t completely finished - are they ever? - but it has evolved alongside our lives. After everything we’ve put into it, making sure it’s properly protected has become more important than ever. Same home. Definitely a new era 🏡 Approved by Aviva, Aug 2026 . *Aviva Censuswide Survey, 29th June–2nd July 2026 #AvivaUK
