heritage insurance
Insuring heritage buildings requires expertise - we can help!
From country pubs to the grandeur of stately homes, castles and world heritage sites – the heritage market is so diverse that it requires a specialist insurer who understands the unique complexities of the market and can provide a dedicated heritage insurance product, supported by dedicated value-added services.
Heritage buildings exist in significant numbers and vary in occupation from country houses to shops, theatres, museums and offices.
Although many businesses rely on the heritage aspect of their properties to attract customers, many do not protect this aspect of their property or may not have considered the impact on their business should they be unable to restore it in the event of a loss.
But the heritage aspect does have an impact. Setting the sum insured, for example, is much more complex in the case of insurance for heritage property, as is restoration of the building following damage caused by an insured event. Expertise is required, and this is where we can help.
We’ve drawn on our vast expertise of insuring large historic church buildings to become specialists in a number of niche markets. Unlike the majority of companies, we have the expertise to understand the complex and specific exposures that heritage establishments face, and tailor both cover and premium to reflect their needs.
