FAQ - Listed property insurance
Here are some of the questions we are frequently asked about our
listed property insurance. If you can't find the answer to your
question here, please call us on 0844 892
1761.
How do I know if my property is listed?
This information will be on the deeds of
the house when you purchased the property.
What excess do I have to pay on this policy?
You can choose an excess from £50 to £250.
If you go for the higher amount this will reduce your premiums.
Certain types of constructions have a higher excess - such as flat
roofed properties. For more information speak to one of our sales
advisors on 0844 892 1761.
Can Towergate arrange immediate cover?
This depends on your circumstances and the
type of property you want to insure. The quickest way to find out
is to speak to our advisors today on 0844 892

What do I do if I need to cancel my cover?
You are entitled to a full refund of the
premium paid if you find the policy unsuitable for your needs and
cancel it within 14 days of receipt of your policy documents (as
long as no claims have been made). If you need to cancel cover
after that time, cancellation charges will apply. Please call us or
notify us in writing with the reason for cancellation and state the
date from which you need cover to cease. Remember, if your policy
is in more than one name, all policyholders will need to sign the
letter. If you have any other queries please don't hesitate to
contact the customer services team on 0844 736

Would you insure my property if it is both listed and timber
framed?
Yes. We can cover for both of these
situations.
Do I have to keep my property maintained?
If you have a flat roof, a professional
builder or roofer will need to visit your property every 8 years to
inspect it and any necessary repairs should be carried out.
Would I still be covered for theft under this policy?
Yes. As long as there is forcible entrance
into or exit from your property you will be covered.
