How is high net worth insurance different?
Standard home insurance policies are not designed to cover the nuances of a high value home.
For example, the average home insurance policy will have a lower limit on the amount that can be claimed for certain items, such as jewellery. Listed buildings, antiques and other valuable items may also not be fully covered by a standard home insurance policy
The insurance industry recognises that people who have high-value homes need a different type of solution. There are now a number of insurers who offer specialist policies that will take all of these things into account and provide you with the appropriate level of cover. It is important to remember that the cost of this insurance will be higher than a standard home insurance policy, but it is worth it for the peace of mind that it can provide.
How much cover do I need?
The amount of cover that you need will depend on the value of your assets. You should make sure to get adequate cover to protect your home, and all of your other valuable possessions.
Examples of high-value property that you might want to insure include:
- Your home – the value of your home will typically be much higher than the average person, so it is important to make sure that it is fully protected.
- Your car – if you have a luxury or high-end car, then you will need to make sure that it is properly insured.:
- Fine art - if you have any paintings, sculptures or other pieces of fine art, then you will need to insure them for their full value. Protecting fine art can be complex, so it is important to get expert advice.
- Jewellery - if you have any expensive jewellery, then you will need to make sure that it is properly covered.
- Antiques - if you have any valuable antiques, then you will need to insure them for their full value.
