High Net Worth Homes and possessions are complex, and getting the right cover, at the right price is crucial.
If you live in a home of higher than average value, or have contents worth more than £50,000 then High Net Worth Home Insurance can often be a most cost effective way of providing the insurance you need, rather than a standard Home Insurance policy.
Would your home cost over £250,000 to rebuild from scratch?
If you don’t know how much your home would cost to rebuild we can organise a complimentary buildings survey or you could try this calculator from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Do you have any possessions worth over £10,000?
Even if it’s just one item – such as an engagement ring or a watch – you should have it properly valued and make sure it is fully covered for all risks.
Do you have any fine art, antiques or collectables?
We can help you to find the right cover for all your valuables. Our specialist knowledge can help you to obtain cover to protect your treasures from everything from theft to humidity. We can even put you in touch with the relevant restorers and craftspeople if needed.
At Ellis David we understand that the value of your home and possessions requires a tailored approach to create a policy tailored to your exact requirements.

Free Rebuild Cost Assessment with Ellis David
Buildings should always be insured for the amount it would cost to rebuild them. However, fewer than one in ten household properties in the UK are covered correctly.
If you are over-insured you are probably paying too much for your buildings insurance. If you are under-insured, you face a reduced payout in the event of a claim. Insurance claims can be reduced by hundreds of thousands of pounds due to under-insurance.
By choosing Ellis David, you can receive a comprehensive Rebuild Cost Assessment (RCA) report guiding you on how much you should insure your buildings for.
Thanks to our partnership with RebuildCostASSESSMENT.com we can offer you a great assessment service from a ‘Regulated by RICS’ (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) organisation, fully paid for by Ellis David.
This is a fantastic online service which can protect you from the potentially severe consequences of underinsurance. Both new and existing customers can be eligible, so get in touch today for a new or renewal quote to find out more.
What is High Net Worth Home Insurance?
High net worth home insurance is insurance designed to cover multiple things such as high valued fine art, antiques and jewellery items. This will fall under a HNW home insurance policy
It covers residential property and/or the contents within them, including collections of fine art, prestige cars, jewellery or fine furniture and furnishings.
Why Do I Need High Net Worth Home Insurance?
If you own valuable property that has high spec fittings, fine art and jewellery then you will require bespoke cover so that the property has the right protection in place. A standard home insurance policy will likely have a maximum limit on valuable items. Inner limits apply to standard home insurance policies unless specific items are declared. If not declared, claims may be denied and your policy voided.
Why Do I Need To Value My Contents?
With your policy, you may need to provide an accurate valuation of your possessions, as underestimating them could mean facing a shortfall in the amount that you get back in cases of damage or loss. This means you have enough coverage to replace any stolen, lost or damaged items. Failure to declare items could result in a policy being voided and no payment for the claim.
To ensure that your policy is accurate, you should have jewellery, fine art and other possessions included in the policy valued every three to five years. It’s incredibly important to ensure these valuations are up to date so that, should the worst happen, you get a true replacement value.
How Much Will High Net Worth Home Insurance Cost?
The cost of high net worth home insurance will depend on the level of cover required. Our policies are carefully and closely tailored to your needs and the risks you may face.
