Where Clients Get Caught Out

The gaps standard policies don't price for

These aren't edge cases. They're the most common reasons high net worth clients discover, usually at claim stage, that their cover fell short.

01 / Property

Rebuild cost, not market value

Most sums insured are set from an estate agent's guess or an online tool. Under the average clause, a home insured for two-thirds of its true rebuild cost only pays two-thirds of any claim.

02 / Motor

Young owners, refused or overpriced

Most mainstream insurers won't quote a Ferrari or equivalent for a driver under 30 at all. Those that do can price the same car at ten times an older owner's premium.

03 / Motor

Keyless theft, concentrated by postcode

Over 70% of car thefts are now relay attacks on keyless entry, clustered hard in exactly the London postcodes many HNW clients live in.

04 / Valuables

Watches and jewellery, stuck on old valuations

Values drift for years between revaluations. When a claim lands, an outdated valuation is the single most common reason a payout falls short.

What We Arrange

Cover built around what you actually own

One policy, one point of contact, arranged through insurers who understand non-standard assets rather than declining them.

  • Specialist terms for owners under 30
  • Thatcham-approved tracker arrangement
  • Family fleets under one policy
💎

Valuables & Collections

Jewellery, watches, fine art, and other collections, covered at current value rather than what you paid.

  • No single-item limit surprises
  • Cover that reflects how items are actually worn or used
Process

Three conversations, properly done

No forms designed for a mass market. A private review of what you own, matched against insurers who specialise in exactly that.

1

Private Asset Review

A confidential conversation covering your property, vehicles, valuables, and where your current cover is likely falling short.

2

Specialist Placement

We take your risk to insurers and Lloyd's markets who underwrite non-standard assets as their core business, not an exception.

3

Ongoing Advocacy

Annual reviews as values and circumstances change, plus direct support from us if you ever need to claim.

Recently Placed

Cover that reflects the real risk

Illustrative examples of the kind of gaps a proper review tends to uncover.

Property

Grade II listed house, £430k short

Sum insured had been set from the original purchase price a decade earlier. A proper rebuild assessment put the true figure over £430,000 higher before any claim was ever made.

Motor

24-year-old, declined by six insurers

A client's son had been refused cover on a Ferrari 458 by every insurer he approached directly. Placed within a week through a market that specialises in younger performance-car owners.

Valuables

Watch collection, undervalued by a third

A collection last valued five years earlier was covered for roughly a third less than current value. Revalued and rescheduled before it became a problem at claim stage.

Why Prestige Cover

Discretion, and a market others don't reach

We're not a comparison site. We're a broker who places risk mainstream insurers decline.

Questions

Frequently Asked

What clients typically want to know before their first conversation with us.

What counts as "high net worth" for insurance purposes?
+
There's no single threshold, but insurers typically start treating a case as HNW around a £750,000+ rebuild value or £150,000+ in contents, or where vehicles, jewellery, or collections push total insured assets well beyond what a standard policy is built to price.
Can you get cover for a young driver in a supercar?
+
Often, yes. Most mainstream insurers decline drivers under 30 for high-performance cars outright. We work with specialist markets that price the actual risk, including driving history, security, mileage and storage, rather than applying a blanket age refusal.
Do you cover multiple properties and vehicles under one policy?
+
Yes. A single HNW policy can consolidate a main residence, second or holiday homes, a family fleet, and valuables with one renewal date, one point of contact, and no gaps between separate standalone policies.
How often should valuables be revalued?
+
Every two to three years as a minimum, and sooner after any significant purchase or a notable shift in the market for what you own. Gold, diamonds, and watch prices in particular can move enough in a few years to leave a collection materially underinsured.
Is there a cost to the initial review?
+
No. The private asset review is free and carries no obligation to proceed. We're paid by the insurer once cover is placed, not by you.
