Listed building insurance

Owning a listed building is like owning a little piece of history. It’s both a privilege and a responsibility. Maintaining a listed building can be costly though, so it’s important to make sure you’re properly covered.

Unlike some other insurance providers, we’ll consider all levels and ages of graded building. And we also cover older construction methods, such as wattle and daub, timber frame and lathe and plaster. Our experienced underwriting and claims teams offer a bespoke and personal service tailored to your home.

We understand how important it is for you to have the right level of cover and protection so if you haven't had a full survey recently, we may decide to provide a valuation at your underwriter's discretion to ensure that you have the right cover. This will be a desktop valuation and an independent survey of your property conducted remotely using Ordnance Survey data and various other tools.

A listed building is judged to be of national importance due to its special architectural or historic interest. Even some significant modern buildings are listed. These properties are placed on a national list to give them extra legal protection.

Buildings are put into one of three listing categories according to their relative importance. These categories vary between England, Wales and Scotland. Grade II buildings are the most likely grade listing for a homeowner in England.

Everyone has different requirements when it comes to covering their home and contents, which is why we offer other Home Insurance options for properties that are not listed.
