Who needs specialist home insurance?
It’s hard to keep tabs on the value of your possessions and how much to insure them for. Specialist policies offer more comprehensive cover, expert advice and often an appraisal to help ensure your cover fits like a glove.
Standard insurance is based on historical statistics. If your home doesn’t fit with “national average” profiles, you could find yourself:
- Paying too much: many specialist insurers offer lower rates for higher value properties to reflect the care taken – history documents them as lower risk. Why pay for the neglect of others?
- Being over-insured: the market value of some properties exceeds the rebuild value – land prices causing the price difference.
- Significantly under-insured: how can you be expected to know the cost of replacing 18th century floor tiles?
- Having problems getting cover: thatched, listed and properties of unusual construction are the norm for specialist insurers, and their rates reflect this.
- Restricted by warranties: e.g. occupancy, safe and alarm clauses that can catch you out. A standard policy may not cover valuable jewellery pieces if they’re not in a safe or being worn…
Having the right insurance brings comfort and reassurance when it matters most – softening the impact of life’s misfortunes.
