What does barn conversion insurance cover?
Barn conversions can make unique spaces to live and work in, but due to the nature of their construction specialist insurance is often required. Our home insurance for barn conversions will provide the following:
Buildings cover
Your buildings are protected against perils such as fire, flood, earthquake and storm damage. We can also provide cover for properties that have previously suffered from subsidence and flooding.
Property owners’ liability insurance
Get up to £2 million cover for property owners’ liability to protect against compensation claims that have arisen as a result of your ownership of the property.
Theft
We’ll provide cover for damage or loss caused by theft or attempted theft at your converted barn.
Expert staff
Our expert non-standard property team will take the time to understand your unique situation and find the right quote for you. We'll consider any construction type, including listed barns or properties that have suffered from flooding or subsidence.
Frequently asked questions about barn conversion insurance
Still not sure whether you need barn conversion insurance? We’ve answered some of our customer frequently asked questions.
Why types of barns do you insure?
There are three types of barn conversion in the UK, and we can provide cover for all three. These are:
- Box contruction, where the four walls hold up the entire barn’s structure
- Cruck framed barns, which rely on internal timber A-frames to support the roof
- Post and truss barns, which use vertically placed timber frame posts to support the entire weight of the roof.
Construction details for your converted barn will usually be included on the survey documents.
Can I cover renovation work?
We can provide buildings cover for barns that have been renovated into residential properties, however we are unable to provide cover for the renovation works themselves. The contractor completing the work would usually have some form of liability insurance in place to provide cover for faulty renovation work.
