Listed building insurance for your home

A house which stands out from the crowd, an individual home which fills you with pride every time you put your key to the lock. You own one of the most sought after properties in the country: one which has withstood the ravages of time for decades, in many cases centuries. Listed buildings are special and they demand special cover, of the sort only an expert can provide.

There’s little doubt your home is the envy of all who visit it, little doubt either that you’ve worked hard to buy it, and maybe harder still to improve and maintain it. Your home is something you can rightly be proud of, and it’s fair to say you care more about your Englishman’s castle than most Englishmen. For all we know it may BE a castle that you live in, but what we DO know is that you need specialist advice on how to insure your home.

Listed building insurance for non-domestic properties
Listed building status is not limited to residential properties. Because listed buildings are graded to reflect their relative importance in architectural terms, although many such properties may have originally been built for domestic purposes, urban development and township growth has lead to them becoming converted for a number of other uses such as offices, dental surgeries or retail outlets. Nationwide there are pubs, warehouses, factories and theatres that all qualify for preservation and listed status. Because of the restrictions governing repairs and alterations to listed buildings, owners of such property need to be aware of their responsibility to ensure their insurers are fully aware of the risk they are underwriting and that the policy is suitable for their requirements. A good place to start this process would be to talk to one of our representatives.

Whether it’s your home or a non-domestic listed property, before you call us consider these points:
1) If they become damaged, the costs to rebuild and repair listed properties are far higher than costs of a non-listed property. See our
Guide to important considerations when buying listed buildings insurance.
2) Listed buildings insurance is not something that can be properly achieved online – there are many horror stories of invalid claims due to lack of cover through a policy bought online.
3) We can provide cover even if your listed property is undergoing renovation.
4) Valued art or antique collections, can be included in your listed buildings policy.
5) Westhill Insurance provides Grade I and Grade II listed buildings insurance cover for properties throughout the UK and we pride ourselves on our customer retention rates.
6) You may want to feel the reassurance of a company with positive testimonials from listed building owners.

I don't usually write letters of praise, because I expect to get good service. However, the way my burglary claim was dealt with was first class and most welcome at such a stressful time - well done Westhill.
Mr I A, Potters Bar

The real test of any insurance is what happens when you make a claim. Westhill's claims service was everything I could have asked for and my claim was settled with the minimum of fuss - thank you.
