Outbuildings Insurance

lsf22

Can anyone advise on a suitable insurance company that has a higher than normal outbuildings limit. West London Suburbs


The one time in my life I made a claim (6 years ago) was returning after a weekend away someone had broken into my large detatched garage and emptied it completely of years of collecting, tools, fishing and camping gear, the total loss was around £13k, the payout I received was maxed at the limit of £2,5k. I had photos and receipts for nearly everything !


Best I found is £5k limit, having just about replaced everything I now have a tally of around £15k stored in a purpose built wooden cabin (no windows, 3 locks on the door, alarmed etc). Power tools, hand tools, fishing equipment, tents, camping equipment nothing individually worth more than £800, a few around £400-£500 a piece most of it £50-£100 per piece but lots of it - no room indoors now in a smaller property.


Any ideas - apart from de-clutter !

LV= and M&S will both cover contents in outbuildings up to the full amount of the contents sum insured. NFU will probably give what you need on request.

As above, M&S premier seems suitable -

For a (potentially) lesser premium, are you not able to specify the necessary equipment with your present insurer?

Are you sure LV doesn't have an inner limit for theft from outbuildings?
