Coverage designed specifically for your high-value home

High-value home insurance is one of the most important protections we offer in your package. The difference in products among carriers can be vast, and being underinsured may expose you to severe financial risk.

High-value home insurance isn’t the same thing as a standard homeowners policy you’ll see advertised on television. Instead, it’s a product offered by insurance companies specializing in working with high-net-worth clients who own homes valued at $1 million or more.

What is high-value home insurance?

Protection beyond standard home insurance policies

Many insurers will look to limit the amount they pay out in a claim and want to keep the premium low, so they offer inadequate coverage for most high-value homes. Even when the home has proper coverage, there are many other aspects that most mass-market companies don’t consider, such as high-end appliances, collections of valuables, other structures, to name a few.

Personalized service and extra care are trademarks of high-value insurance companies and brokers. Often a high-value insurance provider will not only cover the loss financially, but will go above and beyond to ensure your home repairs meet your satisfaction. For example, they may help you locate a hard-to-find building material or hire an artisan to recreate a detail of your home that was damaged.

What does high-value home insurance cover?

Get your life back and rebuild without hassles, headaches, or delays

Suffering a loss as a homeowner can upend your life, and high-value home insurance is designed to reduce your stress and get your life back to “normal” quickly and efficiently as possible. Here are a couple of differentiators that exemplify how high-value homes provide more coverage than a standard policy.

Replacement cost for your personal property: Replacement cost coverage, which high-value home policies generally include automatically, reimburses you for new items to replace the damaged ones – such as new living room furniture. Standard policies will generally offer “actual cash value replacement,” which would give you only the depreciated value of your furnishings, likely leaving you far short when you want to buy new items.

Loss of use: Also known as “additional living expenses (ALE),” loss of use coverage reimburses you for extra expenses that you incur if you can’t live in your home due to a covered loss. For example, it pays for a hotel or temporary relocation and other living expenses if you cannot live in your home because of a covered loss.

The maximum benefit for loss of use with a standard policy is limited. For example, if you insure your home for $1 million, your benefit maximum may be 20% of the home’s value, which may not be enough if it takes a couple of years to be rebuilt or repaired. In contrast with most high-value home policies, there are no limits for your additional living expenses incurred.

How much high-value home coverage do I need?

Special care is required when evaluating coverage for custom homes

The gist of most homeowners-insurance advice is: make sure you have enough. Knowing how much ‘enough’ is can be tricky, especially if you’re looking for insurance for a high-value home.

Luxury homes often have features not found in typical homes, anything from structures like a pool oasis to finishes like marble flooring. Fortunately, most high-value home insurance policies offer guaranteed dwelling replacement, the highest level of coverage, and the best way to insure your home against the most catastrophic and expensive disasters. If your home is a total loss and you have guaranteed replacement coverage, the insurer will pay for the total reconstruction value of the home. Depreciation or coverage amount limits do not factor into your claim settlement.
