“Having decided to seek alternative insurance, I was most impressed by the products and service provided by the SR Private Clients team. Amanda Shenton, a Development Executive I found most professional, she was honest, advised us on our personal requirements and ensured we understood the options completely.”
“Amanda has provided private insurance services to myself and my family for many years. What sets her apart is her attention to detail in relation to my personal circumstances in order to source the policy that best suits my needs and then the determination to drive the best premium outcome.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I want to carry out some building work on my property?
All insurers need to know about any building works before they commence at your property. We would need to gather information surrounding any JCT contract signed, including whether the occupant has or has not moved out for the duration of the build, the total value of the work, the expected duration, and a description of what the work entails. Our team will then liaise with the insurer and advise next steps to provide options to ensure both the existing structure and the contracted works are covered.
I'm planning to buy a new item of jewellery, what information do you need?
When new jewellery is added to a collection through purchase, gifts, or inheritance during a policy year, we should be notified of the description and value of the item to ensure it is covered adequately. If the item exceeds the single article limit of the policy, we will then need proof of purchase or a recent valuation.
How often do my jewellery and watches need to be valued?
To ensure the values are up to date on the schedule, and to avoid disappointment in the event of a claim, most insurers require valuations every 3 years for jewellery and watches.
What are the benefits of using a broker instead of online comparison sites?
As a specialist broker for Private Clients, we have access to high-net-worth markets which are not available direct, or through comparison websites. We can provide a unique risk appraisal and audit your current policy documents to find a tailored policy to suit your specific needs.
We are also able to put you in touch with specialist third parties, who can assist with jewellery valuations, rebuild cost valuations, security upgrades, flood defences and more.
I have more than one property, can you cater for this?
All our high-net-worth insurers can provide cover for your portfolio, this means that we can arrange one policy to cover your main home, second homes, holiday homes, travel, and motor policies.
