Available in units of £5,000, the Connoisseur policy for collectors can be purchased quickly online and provide you with “all risks” * cover for your collections whilst anywhere in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, with an option to extend to Worldwide.

At present, cover is only available to U.K. residents.

Follow the simple instructions on the buy online pages on our website and you should be able to buy up to £50,000 of specialist insurance cover within a matter of minutes. Premiums start at £20.00 per year. Hint – cover your less valuable items (up to £500 max. per item) as collectables and then buy specific units under the relevant headings for your more valuable items and collections. Premiums vary according to the type of item insured and, for example, pictures and furniture cost less to insure than brittle articles, clocks or coins.

We will provide you with a quotation and if you wish to accept the cover stated at the cost offered this website offers the facility to purchase the policy and go on cover instantly. Please go to the Policy Summary page to see what this policy offers you.

Premiums are the same, wherever you live in the United Kingdom. Cover is subject to your meeting a minimum standard of security, including a N.A.C.O.S.S. or S.S.A.I.B approved alarm if more than 2 units (£10,000) of cover are purchased, and to your satisfying other criteria, including at least three years claim free history.
