Insuring an Unoccupied, Listed House

[boysey]

Wondering if there is someone out there that may be in the business and can steer me in the right direction ...

I am in the process of buying a listed house which requires some work doing to it before moving in. The work is not massive but would mean it would be far more preferable to not move straight in.

Trying online quotes I seem to fall down at the first hurdles ...
- Most do not want to know if it's listed
- Most want to work on the assumption that it is the main residence (which it will be but ...)
- Most want to assume that it is occupied (well it will be in the day but not at night ...)

The only quotes I have managed to get seem crazeeeeeeeeee!

So any knowledgable PHers out there that are in this game that I could dhare some more info with to see if I can get a sensible premium!

Would also be interested in this.

We are looking at a Grade 2 listed cottage in Norfolk which, will probably have to be empty for the best part of a year (loads of work required)
