Contents cover for underpinned houses
We can cover contents in transit; money and credit cards (up to limits); and valuables, jewellery and electrical items. Underpinned house insurance contents cover limits can be extended over Christmas and weddings to accommodate extra belongings in your home.
Contents only cover can be provided with a ‘temporary accommodation exclusion’ endorsement added to the policy. We need the same level of information from you, but contents only cover for houses underpinned in the last 10 years we do not need full structural engineer's report or certificate of structural adequacy, just a confirmation that all repairs have been completed with no further signs/issues.
Cover when selling your underpinned house
Most mortgage providers require insurance to be in place before completion. Although we can’t transfer the policy to the new owner, we can consider the risk for the new owner, if you share your documentation.
Underpinned house alternative accommodation cover
If your underpinned house becomes uninhabitable, alternative accommodation cover helps with the cost of staying somewhere else until the insured damage to buildings has been repaired and you can return home.
