Struggling to find insurance for a client with a unique home? Our Specialist Home insurance provides cover for homes that are typically difficult to place, like listed buildings or homes used for Airbnb rentals.

But our product is not just designed for specialist homes, it's also for customers who have standard homes but specialist needs, such as customers in the middle of a renovation or customers with an unusual occupation, or customers who simply want the flexibility of increasing their policy limits.

You’ll find us easy to do business with; brokers buying from Pen Central, our e-trading hub, can instantly quote and bind cover, and because Pen Central is full-cycle there's no need for re-keying at renewal or MTA. Plus, whether you buy from Pen Central or get a quote from an underwriter, our product offers competitive rates.

YOU CAN ALSO BECOME A DELEGATED AUTHORITY ON THIS PRODUCT. GET IN TOUCH FOR MORE INFORMATION.
