From country estates and castles to inns, theatres and museums, we understand the complexities of insuring heritage buildings.
Call our specialist brokers now on 01480 478791 and we’ll find the perfect cover to protect your unique heritage property.
Architectural heritage is undoubtedly close to the nation’s heart but there is a serious lack of understanding and familiarity on the part of both brokers and insurers, who will frequently look to insure these buildings on standard property contracts.
This often leads to inadequate insurance and severe financial consequences in the event of a loss. Many standard insurers and brokers are unable to adequately respond to large losses, putting not only your historic assets but also your income streams at risk. Add to this the legal obligations applicable to listed structures and buildings within conservation areas and you can see why specialist cover is desirable.
With over twenty years’ experience in insurance, we’ve got the in-house expertise and familiarity with the regulatory environment to complement the specialist products offered by our insurer partners.
We will act as your advocate in claims situations, at renewal and the point of survey, ensuring that your interests, and the interests of your historic assets, are always at the forefront. We invest heavily in relationships in order to fully understand your needs and we’ll design a package of insurance covers that fits your requirements like a glove.
Whilst a bit of expertise is required to ensure the appropriate protection is in place, we’re pleased to say that this needn’t cost any more than standard property insurance. In fact, we’re frequently able to offer substantial premium savings as well as enhanced cover.
Our Grade II listed windmill is an important part of the village’s history and identity. Having the right insurance behind us gives us confidence in running the business, allowing us to continue playing a key role in the community.
