Art insurance..., by Deleted on Jan 20, 2018 15:14:45 GMT 1, Anyone have any recommendations for companies to get art insurance from? I've previously used towergate insurance, but would be interested in exploring other suggestions. Thanks.

Art insurance..., by siveone on Jan 20, 2018 16:26:57 GMT 1, Some home insurances provide additional art insurance within their normal house insurance and/or addditonal services which depends on the total value of art. In some cases this is cheaper than additonal art insurances. I know that AXA for example have these services. Thanx for the other advices.

We have an agreement with Brownhill's and people who quote GAT get a discount. They also have specialist art advisors and Alex is the main guy. It saves a bit of time as Brownhills deal with a lot of other types on insurance, not just art. just trying to help the chap out!
Also, someone mentioned AXA - Axa under write Brownhills Love Art Insurance policies.

Art insurance..., by John The Badgers on Jan 20, 2018 20:15:42 GMT 1, Depending on value of the items obviously, but my home insurance is via Aviva, and they are very good with the cover as standard, very broad, covers quite a bit, and if you have a few items of particular value, the premium I have found to be quite reasonable? All the best.

I think if your collection is worth over ยฃ250,000 you need to call up, otherwise you just state your collection worth to get a quote. I didn't need to state individual values when I checked for an online quote today.
I am currently with nationwide where I needed to tell them the value of each item but if I needed to make a claim they would need an up to date valuation from an art valuer or reputable gallery. I've been struggling to get replies and actual valuations hence looking into Hiscox

This isn't directed at yourself araplatoon or any particular insurance company
I have to list everything over ยฃxk with my company which makes sense. I had to have it on a spreadsheet with what I paid for it and current value.
We all dearly love insurance companies, and they are wonderful to deal with while we are paying premiums, but do, please check what you are and are not covered for, as we should all know, they will fuck you off without paying a thing!
It isn't a good thing to presume you are covered
As an example, if you have anything say over ยฃ5k ask them what would happen if that piece was stolen or soaked in a flood, or fell off a wall and you hadn't listed it as a separate item.
I know this is obvious stuff. just passing the time :-)

I've gone to Brownhill / Axa Art for the artwork instead.

A couple of years? Are you serious.
Phone them ffs, it takes 2 mins. they are really professional over the phone.

I've gone to Brownhill / Axa Art for the artwork instead. A couple of years? Are you serious. Phone them ffs, it takes 2 mins. they are really professional over the phone. Allow me a little respect. I'm not an idiot. Of course I called them. But don't list an email address if you're not going to answer queries. I'm not allowed to use a mobile phone while at my desk and all work phone calls are recorded. So I have to invest work time to call them on the personal mobile. Not ideal if you can't sort things out in a short amount of time.
I called again recently about adding other items/removing the art, I was told I would get a call back and never did. Had to call again. They also previously forgot to update my address when I moved despite my clear instructions.
Trust me, I know a thing or two about customer service and generally give benefit of the doubt. I genuinely liked them at first, but they've tripped up a few times recently.

Not me personally but I think there was a horrible thread about a stolen Banksy on here. The believe the owner was with Hiscox who were brilliant they said.
If I can locate the thread I'll post it, my memory isn't great so it may not have been Hiscox

Most places have in the fine print that they donโt cover wind & water damage (aka hurricanes) which is probably the biggest threat to my collection.
