FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Our Listed Building Insurance FAQs answer common questions about protecting historic and heritage properties. Discover how specialist insurance can cover restoration costs, traditional building materials, conservation requirements, and renovation projects, ensuring your listed property is protected while preserving its unique character and historical value.

Listed Property Insurance is a specialist Home Insurance designed for buildings that are officially protected due to their historical or architectural significance. Standard Home Insurance often doesn’t cover the unique risks or restoration requirements of listed buildings. This type of policy helps ensure that repairs use appropriate materials and methods, and that any work complies with heritage regulations. If your home is Grade I, Grade II*, or Grade II listed, specialist cover is essential to protect its value and character.

Listed Building Insurance typically includes cover for restoration using traditional materials and techniques approved by conservation authorities. This may include stonework, lime plaster, timber beams, and handmade tiles. The policy is designed to reflect the true cost of rebuilding or repairing a listed property to its original specification, including specialist labour and compliance with listed building consent.

Many Listed Building Insurance Policies offer renovation and extension cover, which protects your home during approved building works. This includes structural changes, bespoke upgrades, and restoration projects. It’s important to notify your insurer before starting any work, as listed properties often require planning permission and listed building consent. A specialist policy helps ensure you’re covered throughout the process, including risks like accidental damage or delays due to heritage regulations.
