High Net Worth Home Insurance

Overview

High Net Worth Home Insurance is a specialist form of home insurance designed for people who either have large sums to be insured on their contents or live in exceptional houses e.g. listed buildings, country residences or a large modern home.

The premiums take into account that these people usually have a better attitude to risks and also appreciate the extra cover that the insurance policy provides - standard house insurance policies, even those offering 'unlimited sums insured' have limits on valuables and other precious contents - rather than insuring solely on price.
