Flood/Subsidence Risk Insurance

Who is it for?

Homeowners, tenants, leaseholders.

Why do you need it?

If your property has had previous issues with flooding or subsidence or is considered to be within a high-risk area, you will need flood insurance to protect your home.

What you can choose from?

We have access to a number of different flood insurance schemes and often work with insurers that are willing to include flood/subsidence cover without the need for specialist insurance, therefore saving you money. Such insurance can also cover buildings, contents, personal belongings cover, and legal cover.

High Net Worth Insurance

Who is it for?

Homeowners, tenants, leaseholders.

Why do you need it?

Larger or unique properties, or those with a high level of valuable items, can sometimes benefit from specialist high net worth house insurance, or high net worth contents insurance, that offers more appropriate cover and allows for higher values than a standard policy.

What you can choose from?

We can discuss your home or contents in detail and offer advice as to what policy would be most relevant. We can also visit your property if required to ensure you will be sufficiently covered with the high net worth insurance we recommend. Suggestions can also be offered as to improvements that will reduce the risk, potentially resulting in lower premiums.

Listed Buildings Insurance

Who is it for?

Owners of period, listed or heritage homes and properties, tenants, leaseholders.

Why do you need it?

Listed buildings require specialist listed building insurance. Your insurer should be made aware of any relevant details, such as the age of the building and materials of construction. The listed features that make the property special can also be those that leave it vulnerable and most in need of comprehensive insurance.

What you can choose from?

Some insurers may decline to offer cover due to significantly higher repair time and costs, plus the specialist building materials and methods often required to repair or rebuild correctly. We have access to many different insurers that can arrange the most relevant cover for your listed building whether your property is in a conservation area, is grade II or even grade I listed.

Self-Build Insurance

Who is it for?

People renovating an existing structure, building a property.

Why do you need it?

If you’re planning extensive renovations to your property or building a home from scratch, then it’s worth considering specific self-build insurance before you get started.

What you can choose from?

Self-build house insurance will provide a much higher level of cover compared to standard renovation insurance, which often only insures against specified risks. We can arrange an all-risk policy which could include cover for building materials, cost of the project, hired tools or machinery, site huts and caravans and public liability for the site.

We can arrange a bespoke policy that matches your exact needs and covers all those potential problems you hope won’t happen!

Unoccupied Insurance

Who is it for?

Homeowners, leaseholders

Why do you need it?

Your home, and everything in it, can be one of the most valuable things you own. If there is no-one living at a property, then unoccupied house insurance is an essential safety net for when the unexpected happens.

Basic cover can sometimes be included in your standard household insurance for short periods when your house might be empty, but this will be for a limited time only.

What you can choose from?

We can arrange specialist and flexible unoccupied property insurance with varying levels of cover for numerous different types of houses. Options include: buildings, contents, and legal cover.
