When you are renovating your home, conventional domestic insurance may not cover your needs. The experts from Renovation Plan explain the importance of specialist renovation insurance
Transforming your home? We’ve got you covered with Renovation Insurance!
In the world of home improvement and property development, the excitement of envisioning your dream space can often overshadow the importance of safeguarding your investment. Whether you’re a homeowner embarking on your first renovation project, a seasoned property developer with years of experience, or a broker searching for the right insurance for your clients, Renovation Plan is the partner you need to protect your project and your dreams.
Why is Renovation Insurance so important?
Renovating your property can be a thrilling experience, from expanding your kitchen to converting your loft. These improvements enhance your quality of life and can add substantial value to your home. However, when you’re making significant changes to your home, having Renovation Insurance is not just advisable—it’s essential.
Many homeowners mistakenly believe that their builder’s insurance will cover any mishaps during renovations, but this often isn’t the case. Standard home insurance policies also typically do not cover the costs associated with renovation-related incidents. That’s where our specialist Renovation Insurance comes into play.
At Renovation Plan, we comprehend the potential challenges and setbacks that can disrupt your renovation journey. From unforeseen floods and theft to accidents on-site, there’s a myriad of factors to consider. Our insurance provides you with peace of mind and allows you to begin your project with confidence, knowing that you have the right protection in place.
What projects need Renovation Insurance?
If your project involves structural changes, you will likely require home or commercial Renovation Insurance. These projects include:
1. Conversions: For example barns, basements, and lofts
2. Extensions: Expanding your living space
3. Internal home renovations: Transforming your interior spaces
What our Renovation Insurance policy covers
Understanding the specific coverage you need for your renovation project is crucial. Consider all the potential risks that might arise during your upcoming project:
Internal renovations: These involve interior changes that do not extend beyond the building’s footprint, such as replacing doors or renovating your kitchen. Our Renovation Insurance covers materials as soon as they’re delivered to your property.
Structural renovations: This category includes significant structural changes, like removing internal walls, replacing windows, or performing extensive roof repairs. It’s imperative to have the right insurance in place to protect the new structure, existing building, and neighbouring properties.
Major renovations: For projects that involve substantial work like piling, basement excavations, or demolition, you may need to vacate the property temporarily. Standard building insurers might not cover unoccupied properties during renovations, but Renovation Plan offers home insurance solutions for such scenarios. Our Premier Plus Policy is the most extensive option, providing added coverage for accidental damage and subsidence, making it ideal for larger and more complex renovation projects.
