Thatched Treasure Protected: How We Insured a Historic Gem

We understand that sorting the right insurance to protect your biggest investment, your home, can be a complex and confusing process. Navigating this isn’t a walk in the park, especially for unique properties. That’s where our Insurance Reinstatement Valuation stepped in, ensuring this home was properly insured.

Meet the Client: 

An owner of a charming Grade II listed property, complete with a characterful thatched roof. Getting the right insurance was a task for such a unique property, that’s where our Insurance Reinstatement Valuation stepped in, ensuring this historic home was properly covered.

Challenge Accepted: 

The existing insurer wouldn’t negotiate with our client without an accurate insurance reinstatement valuation. The complexity? A thatched roof and timber-framed walls, layered with centuries of history. 

In-depth Inspection: 

We meticulously assessed the entire property, from the charming 17th-century core to the modern extension, noting every detail like chimneys and bathrooms.

Double the Care: 

Recognising the property’s distinct sections, we performed separate BCIS calculations for each, ensuring precision.

Beyond the Numbers:

We factored in the thatched roof and timber frame’s unique costs, drawing on our experience and market data.
