High-value home insurance is there to protect your most valuable assets within the home, and if your home contains treasured possessions, antiques, and valuables then chances are you will require specialist home insurance tailored to your needs.

Off the shelf solutions are not always suitable for clients with bespoke insurance needs, instead, a personal service with a tailored solution is recommended.

  • High-value items such as jewellery and watches covered
  • Cover for fine art and antiques
  • Identity fraud
  • Independent valuations
  • Dedicated contacts and account managers

High-Value Home Insurance in detail

High-value home insurance can include:

  • Building cover Cover for your property for repair or rebuild following a claim e.g. fire, flood etc.
  • Contents cover Covers damage or theft of contents within your property.
  • Accidental damage Extra cover for accidental damage e.g. spilling wine on carpets.
  • Personal belongings Cover for personal belongings while out of home e.g. watches, clothes, electronics etc.
  • Contents in the garden Cover for items in the garden e.g. garden furniture, ornaments etc
  • Identity theft Cover for costs to repair your credit status and defend your name.
  • Fine art and valuables Theft and repair cover for fine art and valuables.
  • Family legal cover Cover for legal expenses for a variety of legal disputes e.g. personal injury, consumer disputes etc.
  • Alternative accommodation Cover for alternative accommodation in the event your property is uninhabitable following a claim.
  • Annual travel option Option to include annual travel as an additional cover.

When stating the sum insured for your buildings it should be for the estimated rebuild cost of the property rather than the market value. Providing a correct sum insured will mean you do not pay inflated premiums.
If there are any change in circumstances for your property e.g. undertaking renovation, or letting out rooms, you should let your insurance provider know as claims may be invalidated if they are unaware. If in doubt it is always better to speak to us.

FAQs

  • The definition of high-value is subjective. We regard it as anything you feel is high-value and want protected correctly.

  • No, you will be able to change your existing policy unless there are any adverse risk issues with your new property (e.g. flood area).

  • If it’s unoccupied for less than 30 days there is not an issue; even 60 days un-occupancy is often acceptable. Beyond 60 days, there may be restrictions in cover.

  • Anything you take with you when you leave the house on a day to day basis or if you are away for an extended period of time. This includes clothing, footwear, personal electronics, jewellery, and watches.

  • Previous insurance documents or any documents relating to the purchase of your property may contain the sum insured. If you cannot access these you can go to a calculator devised by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) to help with sums insured. www.calculator.bcis.co.uk/

  • Contents insurance covers all household possessions, such as furniture, electronics, and carpets as well as high-value items like art and antiques. Try our contents calculator to estimate the value of your belongings.
