Frequently asked questions

How do I know what my policy covers?

The policy covers a lot of things and it depends on whether you buy Home Insurance (Contents and Buildings cover combined), Contents Insurance or Buildings Insurance. To know exactly what you are covered for you need to read the policy wording in full.

How much does high-value buildings & contents insurance cost?

The cost of high-value home insurance depends on a number of factors such as the amount of cover required, and other risk factors such as flood or theft risk. Premiums are usually higher than standard insurance because of the increased value and risk, but with this premium, you receive broader and more extensive cover with higher limits than is available with standard home insurance.

How do I know who underwrites your policies?

The policy is insured by two of the largest insurance companies in the world, which are both A-rated for their financial strength.

All risks insurance provides a broader form of coverage compared to standard home insurance policies. It typically offers protection for both personal possessions and valuables at home and worldwide. It also covers accidental damage. All risks cover still has some exclusions such as wear and tear or mechanical breakdown. You would need to check the policy for specific exclusions and limits.

What is combined building and contents insurance?

Combined building and contents insurance covers both the structure of your home and your personal belongings inside it. This means that if your home is damaged by events like fire, floods, or storms, and your possessions are lost, damaged, or stolen, you can claim for both under the same policy.

Do I need high-value buildings & contents insurance?

The general rule is that you 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
