New Zealand's leading insurer of historic churches now has a comprehensive insurance product for your heritage listed building.

Heritage buildings

As an insurer of New Zealand churches for over 25 years, many heritage listed, we are proud to offer a new dedicated heritage insurance product for your heritage organisation all wrapped up with a social conscience.

There are thousands of precious heritage buildings across New Zealand including stately homes, museums, historic jails, Maori property, police stations, boutique hotels, places of worship, inns, gardens and modest workers cottages.

We've drawn on our vast experience of insuring large historic churches to become specialists in the heritage insurance market. Unlike many insurers, we have the expertise to understand the complex and specific risks that heritage establishments face.

In fact we have global expertise. We are a member of the Ecclesiastical Insurance Group which has been providing insurance solutions for historic churches, castles, world heritage sites, village pubs and more since 1887, and has their own award winning heritage product.

Complexity

Although many businesses rely on the heritage aspect of their properties to attract customers, many do not protect this aspect of their property or may not have considered the impact on their business should they be unable to restore it in the event of a loss.

The heritage aspect does have an impact. Setting the sum insured, for example, is much more complex in the case of insurance for heritage property, as is restoration of the building following damage caused by an insured event. Expertise is required, and this is where we can help.

Our heritage product covers:

  • your property
  • loss of revenue
  • motor vehicles
