Art Insurance in the UK, by GMA on Jul 13, 2018 8:49:49 GMT 1, I noticed on Hiscox that they don't require you to itemise your art? That seems a bit strange to me, I guess if something unfortunate happened they would just allow you to show a receipt of the piece you purchased?
How does it work, or can you take photos? I don't have receipts for everything I've bought.

Canโt remember off the top of my head. They were very smooth and easy to deal with. The cover also extends to watches etc

Art Insurance in the UK, by k2 on Jul 13, 2018 11:47:22 GMT 1, I'm also looking at insurance at the moment. Hiscox are often recommended here, and after looking into it recently it does seem very easy to set-up a policy with them.
However it would seem sensible to evaluate the quality of an insurer based on the process / outcome should it ever become necessary to make a claim, not only based on how easy it is to give them your money in the first instance.
With that in mind, has anyone had to make a claim with Hiscox, and if so were you satisfied with the outcome?

Art Insurance in the UK, by londonfx on Jul 13, 2018 18:23:06 GMT 1, I use hiscox. They seem very knowledgeable and competent.
Off the top of my head. I think they have 2 options. 1) a collection worth up to 50k 2) a collection worth over 100k Someone can correct me on the exact figures.
Think it cost me about ยฃ250 for a collection up to 100k. They also include an incremental increase due to price rices as well
I have my household insurance with Halifax and they seem more than happy to work together. Which not many other insurance companies did

Art Insurance in the UK, by John The Badgers on Jul 13, 2018 19:40:05 GMT 1, Obviously depending on the value, but I'm with Aviva, their home contents very good with 'value' items, cant remember the limit, but gives excellent cover, and the premium I find very reasonable. You can also list individual items of high value, and again, very reasonable. Perhaps more importantly, I made a claim last year (some toe rag nicked my bike), and they were very good - good luck in sorting.

Art Insurance in the UK, by ab3 on Jul 13, 2018 19:40:38 GMT 1, I use Hiscox via Brownhill Insurance and they have been very good. Although i've not made a claim yet.
I just upped my policy as it's over ยฃ100k and costs me ยฃ350 a year, which can be paid monthly.
The main guy (i forget his name) at Brownhill set it up as they purchased some art and thought it would be a good market to get into, so they understand it well.
I still have my household insurance with someone else, but for the art its Brownhill and Hiscox. I send through a spreadsheet of the works and their values and keep photos and the spreadsheet of everything on Google Drive in the cloud.
Fingers crossed i'll never have to make a claim but the worst case scenario is that the house burns down and everything goes up in smoke, but at least i'll be covered for that.

Art Insurance in the UK, by bigp on Mar 23, 2019 16:56:56 GMT 1, Hi I wonder if anyone can please help. I have just recieved my hiscox household/art insurance renewal and the increase is ridiculous .It has risen from ยฃ360 to ยฃ515 per year even though I haven't made a claim for over 20 odd years. Can someone recommend another household/art insurance company please.
Thank you in advance.

Have you rung them to discuss? Like car insurance, it is always worth discussing before moving. If you have been with them a while its worth a call?
I had a big household claim with Hiscox 5+ years ago and they were great to deal with.

Art Insurance in the UK, by John The Badgers on Mar 26, 2019 11:32:11 GMT 1, Hello Bigp, I find Aviva very good, and maybe worth a try? Cant recall the exact numbers, but covered for all items up to circa 10K without specifying, and then anything over this, you just add/specify separately for the value required, and this 'premium' quite reasonable.
More importantly, I made a claim a couple of years ago, and they were very fair and efficient. All the best.
