Is My Home Considered High Value?
You may be surprised, but your home may have a greater value than you think. When it comes to taking out buildings and contents insurance, you need to know what the current rebuild value is, as well as how much it would cost to replace your contents as new. It may be a lot more than you bought it for.
High-value home and contents insurance may apply to you if your:
- Collections (e.g. jewellery, art and antiques) are over £50,000
- Contents are over £100,000
- Rebuild value is over £1,000,000 (especially for listed buildings)
If you are unsure whether our home insurance products are suitable for you, get in touch with us and we will have a chat to see what best suits your requirements. Remember, while cheap online home insurance policies look attractive, you could be left out of pocket in the event of a claim.
We can introduce you to valuation specialists who can help you identify high value items and what specialist cover you may need for collections. We can even help you arrange a professional survey of the home to determine how much it would cost to rebuild.

Benefits of our Private Client Insurance
It is all too easy to find insurance with a low premium. Unfortunately, cheap cover often lacks the features and benefits which make a homeowners policy worthwhile. High value home insurance policies available with our insurers usually include:
Alternative Accommodation
Alternative accommodation is provided as standard if you cannot live in your home following a disaster while repairs are carried out. The standard of living will reflect your current requirements.
Worldwide Cover
Worldwide cover (including accidental damage) for your contents, meaning your personal possessions are covered wherever you are while temporarily removed.
Home Emergency
Home emergency cover can be provided to cover the costs of emergency assistance if there is an issue at your home such as damage to the roof or the failure of heating or power.
