Frequently Asked Questions

What is listed building insurance?

Listed building insurance is a specialist policy designed to protect heritage properties that are on the statutory list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest. Unlike standard home insurance, it accounts for the unique costs of rebuilding or repairing a listed property to its original condition using traditional materials and specialist craftsmen, as legally required.

Legally, you are required to rebuild a listed property to as close to its original condition as possible. This means using non-standard construction materials that can be costly and difficult to source, alongside skilled heritage craftsmen whose labour costs are higher than standard builders. Standard home insurance policies do not adequately cover these additional costs, which is why specialist listed building insurance is essential.

We insure all grades of listed properties. In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland this includes Grade 1, Grade 2*, and Grade 2 buildings. In Scotland, we cover Category A, B, and C listed buildings. Whatever the grade, we can deliver a bespoke policy to meet your needs.

Yes. Listed building insurance specifically covers the additional costs of repairing and replacing non-standard or hard-to-source construction materials, the extra costs of skilled heritage labour, and the extended timescales that listed property repairs often require. This includes adequate alternative accommodation cover while repairs are carried out.

Absolutely. We can insure any contents you require, both at home and away from home. We also have excellent underwriting for high net worth homeowners, ensuring your valuable possessions are properly protected alongside your listed building.

We work with a panel of A-rated insurance underwriters, including Aviva, AXA, and Fairmead (Legal & General). We compare listed building insurance from multiple trusted UK insurers on your behalf to find the best combination of cover and price for your specific property.

Simply fill in the quotation form on our website and we will contact you, or call us directly on 01832 735388 during office hours (9am-5.30pm). We prefer to speak with you given the value of your listed property, ensuring we fully understand your needs and can deliver the most suitable and competitively priced policy.

We believe we can. The Home Insurer has access to market-leading policies and prices. We negotiate directly with underwriters on your behalf and deliver the policy you need at a fair, not inflated, price. When requesting a quote, let us know your current price so we can work to beat it.
