Prestige home insurance is designed for high-value properties and the precious possessions and contents within the home. Specifically designed to meet the needs of the owners of luxury homes, prestige home insurance covers your home and contents for a higher sum than other home insurance. Prestige home insurance ensures you are returned to your pre-loss position as soon as possible.
How Does Prestige Home Insurance Differ From Standard Home Insurance?
Prestige home insurance has higher coverage limits than a standard home insurance policy. This means it is more suitable for high-value items and includes a specific cover for valuable possessions like antiques, paintings, and jewellery. This type of insurance policy also provides more flexibility and extensions.
Some prestige home insurers will also complete an on-site appraisal of your home. This will help you set an accurate sum insured, and they will advise you on improvements you can make to fire and burglary protection. Sometimes, they suggest extending your building cover to “extended replacement cost”. This means the insurer will rebuild your home regardless of your sum insured following a significant loss.
What Common Events Are Protected By Prestige Home Insurance Policies?
Typical events covered by this type of home insurance include the following:
- Misplaced or loss of high-value possessions.
- Natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, fires or storms, where compensation is offered for rebuild and repair.
- Personal liability claims can be covered, as legal costs and damages may be payable if you, as the owner, are found liable for damage or injury to others while on the property or Australia-wide.
- Property damage due to accidents, fire or storms. This can cover the cost of repairing, replacing or rebuilding. It can also cover you for theft and burglary, so the monetary value can be recovered if valuable items are stolen.
- Water damage resulting in significant losses. This insurance policy ensures repairs can be undertaken due to water damage.
