Finding specialist Thatch Insurance
Most thatch insurance policies are arranged by specialist insurance brokers like us on behalf of thatch homeowners. This means we offer you our experience and expertise and will have negotiated specialist areas of cover with an insurer to meet your needs. These can include;
Extended alternative accommodation
The planning and rebuilding of a thatch property is a more complicated and drawn out process compared with the rebuild of a standard house. This process is also inevitably going to be stressful so the last thing you want to worry about is the cost of your alternative accommodation. Before you arrange your insurance, check how much your insurer will pay for this type of cover and for how long.
Pre-existing alterations
If a previous owner altered your building without the consent or knowledge of the local authority, you could be forced to return your property to its original state. This is providing that you have made reasonable enquiries about any previous alterations. This is also more likely to occur if your thatch home is also listed. A good policy will reimburse you for the cost restoring your property to its pre-alteration state.
Underwriting knowledge and staff expertise
Many thatch properties are non standard construction and insuring these properties requires a specialist understanding and knowledge of historic building practices. Your property maybe constructed of any of the following or combination of these methods:
- Brick/Block/Stone
- Wattle and Daub
- Cob
- Clunch
- Lathe and Plaster
- Timber clad
