High Value Home Insurance FAQs

What is High Net Worth Home Insurance?

High Net Worth Home Insurance is a specialist insurance tailored to the unique needs of your home and its possessions. If your home is particularly valuable, listed or made out of nonstandard materials, High Value Home Insurance can provide you with personalised cover that addresses the additional risks associated with repairing, replacing or rebuilding your home if the worst should happen. Home Insurance for high value homes will also offer extended, or even unlimited, cover for valuable possessions or collections. This could include antiques, fine art, jewellery or highspec computer and gaming equipment.

Do I need High Value Home Insurance?

You may need High Value Home Insurance if:
  • Your home is listed or features nonstandard building materials
  • Has more than 5 bedrooms
  • You have highvalue possessions, such as artwork, instruments, highspec computers or jewellery.

This is because the cost of repairing, replacing or rebuilding these homes is likely to be too high for a standard Home Insurance policy. For instance, English Heritage may insist upon period materials and craftsmanship being used, which will add to the expense of repairing your home. And if you have valuable possessions, regular Home Insurance limits may be too small for each individual item. If your possessions are damaged, stolen or lost, this could mean that you do not have the cover to replace or repair them.

What does High Value Home Contents Insurance cover?

High Value Home Contents Insurance covers:

  • Carpets
  • Televisions and entertainment equipment such as game consoles
  • Highspec computers and gadgets
  • Furniture
  • Artwork
  • Books
  • Instruments
  • Valuables

When it comes to your valuables, Chris Knott Insurance can arrange specialist cover for the following, which can be either individual items or complete collections, to give you complete peace of mind:

  • Jewellery
  • Fine art
  • Antiques
  • Fine wine
  • Rare or collectable items

What does High Value Home Buildings Insurance cover?

High Value Home Buildings Insurance will cover the cost of repairing, replacing or rebuilding your home, but unlike standard cover, it will provide higher limits or even unlimited cover.

This is because high net worth homes are very likely to have higher rebuild or repair costs. You may need to use specialist materials or expert craftsmanship, for example, which will drive up the cost of building work.

For this reason, it is very important that you accurately estimate the cost of rebuilding your home. High value homes are more likely to be listed, involve nonstandard building materials, or have period features. This could make your rebuild cost more expensive than its market value.

To help you, we can offer valuation guidance via our network of trusted experts. To find out more, speak to a member of our private clients team.
