Who do you listed building owners use for home insurance? I'm struggling to find decent quotes. With a company called Rentguard at the moment, but it's pretty pricey.

Do you let the house then ?
If not speak to a broker. Try NFU Mutual, Towergate.
For some listed properties, the main thing is making sure the cover is adequate. Concentrate on making sure the cover is suitable first by speaking to companies, so that you have confidence they are quoting on the correct basis.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0 -
Many companies will insure a listed building. Make sure the buildings cover is adequate or go for a blanket cover. If you are unsure, ring them.
The premium is often based on the age of the property as well and if you have previously been insuring a modern property,the price may seem steep compared to what you are used to paying. So as listed buildings would tend to be older you will automatically pay more whether it is listed or not. And it will of course vary if Grade 1, Grade 2 , etc.
The main thing would be to make sure you have adequate cover. Try to get a few quotes online - if they allow you to enter the listed building status of course do so. If not and the price is competitive, give the insurer a ring in case they can still quote.
Hope this helps.0
