Frequently Asked Questions

 

Can I add items to my insurance policy?

You certainly can. Just let us know the type and value of the item you would like to add so we can calculate your additional premium if there is any.

Would my contents be covered when I'm abroad?

Yes, cover is for contents in your home. We got you covered even when you are abroad.

Can I replace a lost item with my jeweller? Or will I receive a voucher?

We don’t offer vouchers where you must purchase the replacement at a specific jeweller. Whenever possible, the replacement will be made bespoke for you, hallmarked & delivered to your home address.

Our experienced and friendly claims team will always work closely with you to source the replacement. If they are unable to replace the item insured they will settle your claim in cash.

I'm insuring jewellery for my partner, who's name should be on the policy?

We suggest you have joint names on the policy so you both are fully protected, can file a claim or renew the policy. When purchasing you will be able to add joint policyholder. This doesn’t affect the premium.

Can I increase the sum insured on the policy?

General contents or building sums insured could be increased at any time.

However, when it comes to individual items, the value is linked directly to the items insured, which should be regularly valued.

If you decide to increase the sum insured for any item over £2,500 we will ask for new valuation.

Do I need to provide valuation for every item?

We only require supporting document for jewellery over £2,500 or artworks over £5,000. This can be a copy of either valuation or purchase receipt.

How old should I be to get insurance?

Minimum age of a high value home and contents insurance policy would be 21.

We are happy to review your individual requests as well, feel free to contact us.

I don't have valuation. What do I do?

You can find the nearest reputable jeweller at NAJ.CO.UK

There are several online services whose valuations are acceptable by all major insurers.
A good example would be Prestige Valuations

I got an item as a gift. Can I insure it?

Ideally a person that purchased item needs to insure it as soon as it’s pruchased and in his/her possession. But you can still insure it as you are now considered as a legal owner of the item. Most of the time do not need to provide any additional documentation to prove the ownership.

I don’t know where to start. Can you advise?

We suggest you start from picking the type of cover. You will then need to complete a short questionnaire to get a price indication that we call insurance quote.

For home insurance enquiries we may need up to 48 hours to get suitable terms for you. It would depend on the complexity and size of the cover. 

If you need any assistance in preparing the quote, feel free to get in touch via Email, Live Chat or simply give us a call! 

What information do you need from me?

For High Value Home and Contents insurance quotes we will require more specific informaiton to get an accurate quote and cover that you require. That would include valuation of your property and high value contents that you wish to insure.

Feel Free to reach out in case you need assistance in deciding which cover you require. 

 

I’m happy with the terms. How can I buy a policy?

All instructions will be in our quote. If oyu are still unser what to do next please get in touch via Email, Live Chat or simply give us a call.
We are always happy to help in any way we can!

Purchasing process varies from product to product but it’s a pretty speedy process no matter what level of cover you require.

In most cases we will be able to activate your cover within minutes.

Good price and extremely easy to renew. My premium has remained exactly the same for a few years now and to renew simply takes a one word reply by email and a bank transfer (other payment options are available)

Very pleased with the service for self-storage insurance, much cheaper than the self-storage companies charge... and the cost of the renewal was lower than the original. Very pleasant service too.

I rarely feel compelled to write a review, but this company is wonderful - an exemplary ‘all round’ good one! From fantastic communication, to great value. The misfortune of needing to make a claim, was handled professionally and quickly. I’ve been with them for many years, and I really appreciate how ‘old school’ and trustworthy they are. I haven’t had big annual hikes to my policy cost & changes to my policy don’t incur charges. Sharon & Lucy have been especially lovely. I highly recommend them.

Craig and Laura were excellent to deal with for a few rental properties that I let in London. They were much more helpful than any of the online brokerages and helped me procure and cancel policies throughout a move, and also got me a very competitive quote. I would highly recommend.
