Art Insurance in the UK, by disturbart on Jul 30, 2021 15:50:39 GMT 1, I went with Coramjames for valuations on Banksy.
Very professional, efficient and good value
I then went with John Lewis in the end who covered my building and contents including all art work insurance.
I investigated going with Hiscox separately, but most insurers will not cover your buildings and contents if you have a high value art collection. People on here just telling you to insure your art collection separately have not always read the small print or checked with their insurer or been upfront with them.
You may be lucky and find a company that will cover both like I did with John Lewis, but just be sure to explicitly check first.

My home and contents is with Directline Select and art is by another insurer. Directline Select are fine with that and when the calculate my premium they take into account i have some prints even if they are not covering them.

Art Insurance in the UK, by trendywendy on Oct 20, 2021 1:08:18 GMT 1, My home insurance policy is due / about to lapse TOMORROW(!!!) but is a very ancient policy that I've let renew without attention for over 10 years... Now it's too late to auto renew & there's no more ignoring it!!
I have no inventory to speak of (but have just got an app to make a start on one)
I need a decent policy.. urgently... that is a solid all-rounder - buildings and contents Where I can add a small / growing art collection inventory as soon as i possibly can itemise things... Also including home audio studio / working from home situation And massive vinyl / music collection (that I couldn't begin to value item by item)
Do you need to list "design features" (like fires & staircases) & Lighting? I really don't know where to begin but have NO time to search it fully
Should I go to "The high Street" or is there a clear winner that I should know about??
cheers

Art Insurance in the UK, by ajr on Oct 20, 2021 8:36:01 GMT 1, Check out Nationwide. Art is covered up to 50k I think as standard (30k option as well from memory). Perfect if you have lots of smaller pieces and nothing of big value.

Need help finding new art insurance now that Hiscox are no longer offering a policy. Just called AXA for home and contents but because Iโve declared I have artwork in the house that is beyond what their contents cover they wonโt offer me a quote even if I find separate art insurance. Any ideas?

Absolute nuisance. I used loveart for last two years, believe they are a Brownhills company. Knowledgeable and helpful, they accepted my valuations, you need to declare works above a certain value but all done over the phone easily enough. When i renewed it was a few mins on the phone to confirm valuations, most of which came down which is somewhat different from my premium๐

Thanks for these contact details Wenters,
I have been with Hiscox for a couple of years, was informed you now have to go through someone else, company called Partners &.
My renewal was up yesterday, and cant get a reply out of this Partners & despite numerous e-mails.
Will try Brownhills tomorrow.
Many thanks.

Art Insurance in the UK, by Octopus UK on Jun 11, 2023 16:14:36 GMT 1, I normally have my prints insured as specified items by my home contents policy. This year their value was above a threshold that required valuations. The insurers said that the valuer needed to physically inspect the pieces before providing the valuation. I was at a loss on how to proceed. Luckily, the people who did the framing of the prints were able to provide a valuation that satisfied the insurers. I did however have to pay 2xvaluation fees, but the valuation is good for 3 years.

Art Insurance in the UK, by njr911 on Oct 11, 2023 13:36:49 GMT 1, I've been insured for home contents and art with Brownhills for a few years now and it's probably time to get another quote for comparison.
It cost ยฃ2,800 last year so dread to guess what my renewal will be. I could offset that with a reduce in cover due to market values but it's still not fun!
Anyone got any suggestions who to approach?
