Who does a high value home insurance policy suit?

  • High net worth individuals and families who want bespoke cover for a high value home, including jewellery, watches and fine art.
  • Owners of multiple properties in multiple locations, including a UK holiday home, who prefer a single policy to keep things simple.
  • People who travel frequently and want their valuable possessions to benefit from worldwide cover under one home insurance policy, rather than relying only on standalone travel insurance.
  • Clients with high value properties built or renovated using non standard materials who want a broad range of protection that reflects the true rebuild cost.
  • Anyone who wants to feel fully protected if the worst happens, with cover for high value items that supports long term peace of mind.

How rivr protects you

Your home insurance policy covers all risks of physical loss or damage to your home and contents, anywhere in the world after an insured event. Alternative accommodation cover is included for up to three years, keeping life comfortable while repairs are made. Home emergency cover is also on hand 24/7.

If your fine art or antiques increase in market value, we reflect that in your settlement up to 150% of the insured value. Accidental damage is also included as part of your all-risks protection. We insure to the sum insured rather than promising unlimited cover, so you always know the basis on which we provide cover.

Valuations and underinsurance

Keeping valuations current helps ensure the right cover and enough cover at the point of claim. For jewellery, watches, and fine art , a current valuation supports settlement in line with market value, and helps avoid underinsurance. Review your sum insured regularly as new purchases are made, so your high value home insurance policy stays aligned.

Planning works and time away

Tell us before starting building works where the total cost will exceed £75,000, so additional cover can be agreed if required. Let us know about extended periods away, as standard home insurance policies often restrict terms for long unoccupancy and we want you properly covered.

Day-to-day ease

With a rivr home insurance policy, you manage everything online, from adjustments to claims history, with a dedicated advisor when decisions matter. This is bespoke cover delivered simply, so your high value insurance remains clear, responsive and built around your time.

Why a specialist policy matters

Simply put, it's specifically designed for high value homes and the collections within them. Combining worldwide cover, broad protection and attentive service, your property and valuable contents are cared for the way they deserve.

rivr delivers digital-first cover without the complexity, keeping it simple at your end while being rigorous where it counts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know what my policy covers?

Your cover depends on the type of policy you buy - Combined Home Insurance (Buildings and Contents combined), Contents Insurance, or Buildings Insurance. For full details, please refer to the policy wording, which explains exactly what you are covered for, any exclusions, and inner limits.

We also provide summary guides on our product information pages for home, contents, and buildings insurance. These summaries highlight the main features of your cover but do not include every detail.

How do I know who underwrites your insurance policies?

The policy is insured by two of the largest insurance companies in the world, which are both A-rated for their financial strength. The Buildings, Contents and Liability cover is insured by HDI Global Specialty SE. The Home Emergency and Family Legal Protection cover is insured by AmTrust Specialty.

Does your high value home insurance include buildings and contents cover?

Yes. Rivr offers Buildings cover, Contents cover, or both combined under one policy. Your schedule confirms which sections apply and the limits that protect you.

What is All Risks cover?

All Risks cover provides broader protection than a standard home insurance policy. It typically covers your personal possessions and valuables both at home and worldwide, including accidental damage.

Some exclusions still apply, such as wear and tear or mechanical breakdown, so it’s important to review your policy wording for full details and limits.

Do I need high value home insurance?

The general rule is that you may need high-value home insurance if you meet any of the following criteria:

  • The rebuild value of your home is over £1 million
  • Your general contents are worth over £100,000
  • You have valuable items that together are worth over £30,000
What is the difference between high value home insurance and standard cover?

High value home insurance is designed for homes and contents that exceed standard limits. It typically offers:

  • Higher buildings sums insured and single item limits for jewellery, fine art and collections.
  • Broader cover as standard, often including accidental damage and worldwide protection.
  • Specialist underwriting for complex or listed construction, plus risk management guidance.
  • Higher alternative accommodation limits and dedicated claims handling.

Standard policies have lower limits, narrower cover, and rely on add-ons.
