How to photograph your possessions & request a free scale ruler & guide sheet

As a specialist high net worth insurance broker, I cannot emphasise strongly enough the prudence of photographing and cataloguing your most valued possessions.

In the event of a claim, photographic evidence can assist in identifying, valuing and recovering your high value possessions. Combined with a brief description and scale of the item this will ease the process of insurance settlement in the unfortunate event that a loss occurs.

To demonstrate our on-going commitment as a specialist fine art insurer and jewellery insurer, we have designed and produced a scale ruler and guide sheet. This explains how best to photograph your possessions and the ruler provide scale to the item.

I also recommend that the catalogue of items is kept off site or in a fire safe. As specialist insurance brokers, we can record such information and retain it within our files as part of the service to our fine art, antique and jewellery clients.

Individual Jewellery & Watch Insurance - Beware the small print

On a frequent basis I am asked "Can I arrange a separate policy for my jewellery or watches?", the answer is yes, however, my advice is to combine cover with a contents insurance policy. This gives you wider cover than arranging a separate policy and less small print to worry about in the event of a claim.

Some key areas to consider:

Would you want the choice of where to replace your lost or stolen item or would you be happy for insurers to dictate to you where the item has to be sourced from?

Do you holiday outside the EU on a regular basis?

In the event of a claim you may have to purchase a new policy, this could mean purchasing two policies in a 12 months period, would you be happy with this?

Your jewellery and watches are an investment, take time to consider whether the insurance cover is right for you and you are getting value for money. As High Value home insurance brokers we understand the policy cover and can provide you with the correct policy and cover to meet your needs.
