Why choose high value content insurance?
What it is
High value contents insurance is specialist cover for significant possessions. It goes beyond standard home insurance with all risks protection for your belongings. Choose contents insurance on its own or as part of high value home insurance with buildings insurance, with limits aligned to your contents sum insured.
Who it’s for
Households with a high value property who want specialist home insurance that brings contents insurance and valuable items into one clear approach. It suits high value homes with fine art, jewellery, technology and other high value items, including families who split time across multiple locations. This specialist cover provides protection where standard home insurance can be too narrow.
How we protect your contents
Your home insurance policy covers all risks of physical loss or damage to contents anywhere in the world after an insured event. Accidental damage is included. Fine art and antiques can be settled in line with market value through market appreciation where a current valuation exists. Home emergency is available, and liability cover applies if a claim is brought for injury or damage.
If your home cannot be lived in after an insured event, alternative accommodation up to 36 months is included. We insure to the sum insured rather than offering unlimited cover, with additional cover available for specified pieces.
