Building your own home or taking on a renovation project is an exciting yet expensive time, in many cases, it'll be the single biggest financial investment of your life.
It is therefore startling that many people take on such projects without adequate insurance in place, risking the entire investment and potentially landing them in desperate situations.
Your existing home insurance policy may not cover any works undertaken as part of a renovation or extension project.
To help homebuilders and renovators secure peace of mind, Homebuilding & Renovating has partnered with leading insurance specialist Self Build Zone (opens in new tab) to provide bespoke insurance solutions at market-leading rates for its readers.
How Much Does Specialist Insurance Cost?
Prices will vary, but expect to pay between 0.5 and 1% of the overall build cost. A self build policy doesn’t cover personal possessions, but can be converted to a household policy upon project completion.
