Timber-frame house insurance covers your building against loss or damage to the property due to a range of insured perils such as fire, storms and flood.
Timber-frame house insurance with alternative accommodation cover
Should your timber-frame house become uninhabitable due to an insured peril i.e. fire, alternative accommodation cover pays the cost of staying elsewhere while your home is repaired and able to be re-occupied, up to 20% of buildings or contents cover.
Property owners' liability insurance for timber-frame houses
Property owner's liability insurance covers you if a third party alleges accidental injury or damage to their property in circumstances related to your timber-frame house for which you are responsible. This cover offsets both the costs of your legal defence and any financial costs you are required to pay to the claimant.
Legal protection for timber-frame houses
You can add an additional option for legal expenses cover to your timber-frame house insurance. This covers events including personal identity fraud, and property sale and purchase. This can cover you for legal costs up to £50,000 per insured event.
Timber-frame home emergency assistance
If you add home emergency assistance to your timber-frame house insurance, you’ll benefit from a 24-hour helpline to help you deal with sudden, unexpected events such as plumbing and drainage failure; electricity failure; loss of water; and complete breakdown of the primary heating system and make your home safe and secure again. A team will assist you, including restoring electricity, gas or your water supply if required, and there is no excess to pay.
Using it will also not affect your no-claims bonus under your timber-frame house insurance. There are exclusions however so please contact us for full details or see your policy documents.
