6+ bed House insurance

[Timja]

Hi,

Proving difficult to find insurers for a house with more than 5 bedrooms, can anyone recommend brokers/companies who will cover large houses as most won't insure houses with more than 5 bedrooms and those that will are greatly more expensive than for a 4/5 bed.

Thanks.

Hiscox?

Expensive, but superb service if you need them.

M&S - great cover - reasonable price. Make sure you fit the assumptions, max 6 bedrooms

NFU Mutual as well. When we had a 6 bed we tended to lean towards the premium insurers who would cover without a problem. I'm very much for the quality over cost with regards insurance anyway and at that level it wasnt significantly different to a 5 bed house.

Admiral cover my 6 bed no problem. I've used the comparison websites several years on the trot and haven't had any issues with finding cover.

I suppose what would be good to know is who is easy to deal with in the event of a claim for a large property with 6+ bedrooms, as I imagine many will take the money to cover but could be difficult to deal with.

See my post above!

(I don't have a 6 bedroom house, but my claims experience with Hiscox was exemplary).

Worst ive got a 6+ bedroom house post ever

I found Hiscox useless when I was trying to arrange cover.

I was trying to get cover whilst extending and they said they couldn't cover it, suggested their sister co. they didn't call back, then when I got their details they couldn't cover it and said Hiscox could !

NFU are usually quite good for large homes with outbuildings etc

Only just stumbled upon the 'What's New' button on the forum and this thread came up. I'm trying not to do any work here! :-p

I'm back in the office on Tuesday if you want to give me a call on 01823 230249. Or drop me a line on [e-mail] and I'll get back to you. ;-)

I use John Lewis after being recommended on here, pretty sure they have a premium service too which may cover you?

Axa have covered my house for the last few years. (6 bed Victorian.)

Ours is a non-standard large house which used to be insured, at some expense, by Aviva. Switched to Towergate and now get better cover for less than half Aviva's premium.

I'm surprised a broker can't help.

+1 we found Hiscox superb for ours, very easy & knowledgeable and clear, simple and comprehensive cover AND a good price

Quote from Hiscox for 4 bed detached in a village called ".....-in-the-water" never flooded but risk area and built 1706 was £1500!
