Art Insurance in the UK, by fielder on Dec 16, 2010 22:59:00 GMT 1, Can anyone recommend a good insurance company who specialise with art insurance? I currently have a policy with Aviva and the premium has increased by ยฃ120 for next year which I think is crazy! I would be looking for something I could switch to with the minimum of hassle (ie not having to do a full inventory). Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Art Insurance in the UK, by marshman on Dec 17, 2010 12:44:00 GMT 1, As with all insurances make sure you really understand what you are buying and what conditions you need to satisfy, if for example you do not have all the art on your walls ;-)
I had a bunch of stuff in a portfolio under the bed (nowhere else to put it) but as I live in a basement flat it is only covered if it is 12" off the ground.
As I work in this robbing you blind game I was sure that there would be some issue so I pressed and pressed until I got the answer above. Had I not done so I could have been properly screwed in the event of an incident.
I was then able to negotiate with the insurer and have my stuff insured at two locations, ie the stuff on the walls and the stuff that is no longer under a bed but somewhere nice and safe!!!

If this is true, that's great advice. Thanks for posting
Does anyone have anything else worth noting when getting insurance?

Often they will. Insurance companies are so fickle. They rely on customers being lazy and just letting their policies auto-renew.

so if someone stole the stuff from under your bed would your cover be compromised because of them not being 12" off the floor? or is that a caveat for a flood damage claim?

Wasn't worth the risk and splitting them in different locations worked well for me.
and yes in a "typical" house, under the bed would normally mean way above the ground floor

Art Insurance in the UK, by stillborncrisps on Jun 11, 2016 9:29:38 GMT 1, I'm sure there used to be a thread about this but damned if I can find it. 
Basically any prints ยฃ1.5k+ are currently covered by my home insurance (More Than) but there's a cap on their total for art. With the Banksy prices going insane in the last year or two, I'm thinking I should probably take out a separate insurance when I come to renew next month. That, or look for home insurance with a higher cap.
Any recommendations?

They do an up to ยฃ50k policy and onwards.
Seems ok. Not too expensive in my opinion.
Not had to call on them yet ! (As I touch wood !) ( not a euphemism !)
I'm sure there are others as well.
I'm sure some of the heavy hitters from here like 11, dreadnatty, Lroy, FR etc would all be happy to advise if you pm them.

On my policy it was ยฃ15k, I took it out years ago though, and haven't switched as it was such a ball ache to get comparisons once you mention the words 'high value art'. Been really happy with More Than, was really straightforward to take out and they didn't take the piss with price increases year on year.
