Specialist Building and Contents Insurance
For Thatched Property Insurance
For Specialist Building and Contents Insurance
The use of thatch as a roof covering material has ancient origins and it is amongst the oldest building materials in use today. Builders would construct property using what ever local materials around and thus, the type of thatched used varied from one region to another. Today thatched buildings are very desirable and do not come up for sale very frequently. When they do, they can command a premium price.
Owning a thatched property is often a rewarding experience but it can bring with it some particular challenges. Our experience in dealing with thatched property insurance means that we understand our clients needs for a specialist building and contents insurance policy that will cover some of the distinctly different risks that a thatched property owner may face.
Our thatched property insurance policy has been specifically designed for Devon Direct with the thatch property owner in mind. Our experienced staff can help you chose the right thatched property insurance ensuring that you are well prepared and protected should the worst happen.
Getting specialist building and contents insurance for a thatched property can sometimes be a problem. The risk of fire is significantly increased when insuring a thatched property. Insurers will normally pay particular attention to two areas when considering a thatched risk a) the electrical installation of the property and b) the type of heating in the property, whether an open fire or wood burner and if so, the construction of the chimney and flue.
A common misconception about owning a thatched property is that it must be expensive to insure. At Devon Direct we offer a UK based thatched property insurance policy, underwritten by Lloyds of London, which is able to offer significant savings on specialist building and contents insurance, whether this is your main residence or second home, in the UK or in most countries in Europe.
