High Value Home Insurance FAQs
Got questions? Our High-Value Home Insurance FAQ covers the basics, what’s included, who needs it, and how it protects your most valuable assets.
Sometimes known as ‘High-Net-Worth Home Insurance’ or ‘Luxury Home Insurance’, it is a specialist insurance product tailored to the unique needs of your home and its possessions.
If your home is particularly valuable, listed or made out of non–standard 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 also offers extended, or even unlimited, cover for valuable items or collections. This could include antiques, fine art, jewellery or high–spec computer and gaming equipment.
- Your home is listed or features non–standard building materials.
- Has more than 5 bedrooms.
- You have high–value possessions, such as artwork, instruments, high–spec 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.
High-Value Home Contents Insurance covers:
- Carpets
- Televisions and entertainment equipment such as game consoles
- High–spec 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 high-value items or complete collections, to give you complete peace of mind:
- Jewellery
- Fine art
- Antiques
- Fine wine
- Rare or collectable items
Yes. If you keep your golf clubs at home, we can arrange for your Home Insurance to protect them against theft, loss or damage, so you’ll be able to repair or replace them.
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 these homes are likely to have higher repair or rebuild 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 non–standard building materials, or have period features. This could make your rebuild cost more expensive than its market value.
