Is High Net Worth Insurance Right For You?

High net worth insurance is suitable for clients whose assets, lifestyle, or property portfolio require more than a standard home insurance policy can provide.

You may benefit from a high net worth policy if you:

  • Own high value homes or listed properties
  • Have multiple properties, including holiday homes or second homes
  • Possess valuable assets such as antiques, fine art, or jewellery
  • Require worldwide cover for personal belongings
  • Need higher limits than those offered by standard policies
  • Have non standard features in your property
  • Want tailored cover that reflects your lifestyle and risks

For example, a standard insurance policy may not provide adequate cover for high value items or may impose limits that leave you underinsured. High net worth insurance is designed to provide cover based on the current market value of your assets, ensuring full protection.

Other Types Of High Net Worth Insurance

High net worth individuals often require a range of specialist insurance solutions beyond home insurance. At Ellis David, we provide access to a wide range of private clients insurance options, including:

  • High value vehicle insurance for prestige and classic cars
  • Insurance for yachts, private aircraft, and other luxury assets
  • Event insurance for private functions and gatherings

By consolidating your insurance needs into one coordinated approach, we can help ensure there are no gaps in cover while simplifying the management of your policies.

High Net Worth Home Insurance

High value home insurance is at the core of most high net worth insurance programmes. Unlike a standard home insurance policy, it is designed to reflect the true value and complexity of high value homes.

This specific policy includes:

  • Higher limits for buildings and contents insurance
  • Cover for high value properties and unique architectural features
  • Protection for multiple properties under one policy
  • Flexible terms to accommodate lifestyle changes and new purchases

High net worth home insurance also considers the cost of rebuilding properties with specialist materials or craftsmanship, ensuring your home is insured to its full value.

For clients with listed properties or homes with bespoke features, this level of protection is essential. Standard policies may not account for these complexities, leaving you exposed in the event of a claim.

High Value Vehicle Insurance

For high net worth individuals, vehicles are often more than just transport—they are valuable assets that require specialist insurance.

High value vehicle insurance provides:

  • Agreed value cover based on current market or specialist valuation
  • Protection for classic cars and prestige vehicles
  • Worldwide cover options
  • Flexible usage terms

Whether you own a single high value vehicle or a collection of classic cars, this type of insurance ensures your assets are properly protected.
