A listed building is one that is officially protected because of its special architectural or historic interest. These properties sit on a statutory list maintained by local authorities or Historic England. There are three main grades of listed building in the UK, each reflecting a different level of significance and protection.
- Grade I: Buildings of exceptional interest.
- Grade II*: Particularly important buildings.
- Grade II: Buildings of special interest.
Owners must obtain listed building consent from their local planning authority before making repairs or alterations. The aim is to preserve the building’s architectural importance and overall historic interest.
Because of this, listed property insurance needs to cover full rebuild costs, including specialist materials, traditional labour, professional fees and permissions. Standard home insurance often does not provide this level of protection.
Our insurance offers tailored cover for Grade II and other listed homes, with specialist advice and support from experienced surveyors.
