Historic Houses Insurance Mutual:
Research Survey
For some time member properties have experienced a contracting insurance market and ever increasing premiums. Historic Houses has been working with industry professionals and is in the process of exploring the feasibility of establishing an insurance mutual for our members properties.
An insurance mutual is a type of insurance company owned by its policyholders, rather than by shareholders. This means that there are no outside investors or shareholders looking to extract profits but any surpluses generated by the mutual are used to benefit the policyholders. This can be through lower premiums or improved services.
We would be grateful to any house member who is able to complete this survey and provide us with information about their insurance premiums and claims over the last 5 years. These insights will play a vital role in understanding the feasibility of such a venture and potentially help shape the future of the historic house insurance sector.
Please note this survey focuses on buildings and contents insurance premiums and claims only.
The survey will ask you for specific figures, dates and data for the past 5 years so we recommend having this information in front of you before beginning the survey.
As with all our surveys, all responses will be treated in the highest confidence.
