Higher limits of liability covers now available for residential building works. HomeWorks is the choice of brokers who have homeowner clients who are renovating, refurbishing or extending their properties, where the works are too extensive for the standard and high net worth home insurance market. In a single, seamless policy, it can cover the existing structure, building works, property owner's liability and home contents.

The amendments relate mainly to the time it takes for an offence to become “spent” under the Act (the rehabilitation period). The rehabilitation periods are being reduced for most offences, which you can view on the guide to changes published by the Ministry of Justice.

We look for reasons to say ‘yes’, where our competitors say ‘no’. This is why brokers choose us for their clients every day, and one of the reasons we’ve been voted a ‘Top 10’ personal lines insurer by our brokers for the last four years in a row in the Insurance Times Broker Service Survey.
