John Albion - Non Standard Construction Insurance
We specialise in the insurance of unusual homes including barn conversions and thatched or period timber framed homes. Because they are different from the norm and can contain features that date back several centuries many insurers are reluctant to offer competitive quotations for these types of homes. Many of the homes that we insure are listed buildings. We issue policies direct to homeowners and also to insurance brokers who select us and our underwriting insurers to insure the homes of their clients. The policies we issue and administer are underwritten by Allianz who are one of the leading insurers in Great Britain. This provides security from one of the largest insurance groups in Europe combined with our specialist service for the insurance of non standard construction homes. All aspects of the service are administered within the UK. We are authorised and regulated by the FSA..Products We provide the most comprehensive insurance service available to meet the particular needs of the owners of barn conversions, thatched or timber framed homes throughout the United Kingdom. The policy from John Albion Duffield & Pratt is underwritten by Allianz, one of the UK's longest established insurers, and a member of one of the largest insurance groups in Europe. Our specialist service has developed over a number of years. During that time we have earned a formidable reputation for our independent research programme, and for the publication of guides to personal safety and the conservation of period homes. These publications have been commended by the Home Office, fire prevention experts and research scientists. We are able to provide you with the most recent and most effective information and advice to help you to make informed decisions about your home. Our research has identified the need for a specialist range of services and products, which are invaluable to the conservation of thatched and timber framed homes. These include a competitively priced internal inspection of the chimney(s) by an experienced chimney engineer using CCTV equipment to identify any potential problems that may increase the fire risk, a recommended panel of selected, professional chimney sweeps operating in your area, who will maintain your chimneys in a safe condition
Valuations, inventories and security advice
It is important that your home should be adequately insured, but professional valuations for insurance purposes can prove expensive. Over insurance is a waste of money, and under insurance carries the risk of insurance claims not being paid in full. We offer a competitively priced, professional building valuation service to accurately assess the rebuilding costs of your home so that you do not pay for more insurance cover than you need. The homes we insure are often centuries old and it can be difficult, even for qualified surveyors, to accurately assess their rebuilding costs. However, if your home is professionally valued, our policy offers a unique Rebuilding and Reinstatement guarantee, which entirely removes the risk of under insurance. You will also be provided with a personalised inventory to help you to assess the value of the contents of your home. A personal Advice Although the policy is underwritten by a major insurer, we issue and administer the policy in every detail and represent your interests in all claims matters. Every aspect of our service is conducted at a personal level and you will find that it is delivered by an experienced and thoughtful team of skilled individuals who are genuinely interested in you and your home.
