Using our long standing relationships Clarke Williams have created a network of services that we can introduce our clients to if needed, from Prestige Vehicle Sourcing, Estate Management to Bespoke Travel Planning we are able to help if any eventuality.
What is covered under a household policy?
No two homes are the same. We aim to discuss your needs and provide a quote to match.
Typically, we would look to make sure you are provided with the following:
- Building Insurance – This protects you in the event of damage to your buildings. Your sum insured should represent the rebuilding cost of the property not the market value
- Contents Insurance – This protects your contents in the event of any damage, typically on a ‘new for old’ basis. Most insurers also include Accidental Damage
- Personal Possessions Away from the Home – This covers your personal effects away from your home and includes money, jewellery and clothing. We can extend this to be covered anywhere in the world
- Replacement Locks Cover – This covers the cost of replacing the locks of the property if your keys are lost or stolen and your security is compromised
- Cost of Alternative Accommodation – This covers the reasonable costs for accommodation elsewhere if your home becomes uninhabitable as a result of damage from an insured peril
- Trace and Access – This covers the costs to locate and isolate the source of a leaking water, gas, or oil pipe
- Public Liability – This covers any financial liability that you are personally responsible for, following damage to third party property or personal injury to others
- Employers Liability – This covers your legal obligations to protect your domestic employees if they are injured during the course of their work for you
- Personal Legal Services – This is designed to provide support and protect your legal rights and cover the costs for Legal Defence if required
