Saga TailorMade Home Insurance

If you need more than £100,000 for your contents or £1 million for your buildings insurance, our high value home insurance policy has been specifically designed for higher-value homes like yours.

Do I need high value home insurance?

There are a number of reasons why you might want to choose our tailormade cover...

  • Higher cover limits – you can insure your contents for more than £100,000 and your buildings for more than £1,000,000

  • Worldwide cover – for your possessions at no extra cost

  • Comprehensive buildings cover – against damage caused by incidents such as fire, storm, subsidence, flood, and theft

  • Alternative accommodation cover – for up to three years, should you need to move out of your home due to a claim

  • Cover for tracing and accessing a leak – including the cost of removing and replacing any part of the buildings

  • Accidental damage cover – is included as standard

  • No need to specify items under £5,000 – or £15,000 for paintings

Additional cover available with Saga TailorMade Home Insurance

Saga Home Emergency

From £34.99 per year, you can protect your home by adding Saga Home Emergency to your Saga Home Insurance policy. With unlimited call outs each year and up to £2,000 per incident, your home is covered for a range of emergencies relating to the following areas:

  • Plumbing and drains, if you have a blocked drain or a burst pipe
  • Electrical, if there is a partial or complete failure of internal electrics
  • Pest infestation, such as the removal of wasp or hornet nests and mice or rats
  • Security (i.e. glazing and locks) if you have a smashed window that's causing a security risk or you've lost your keys and are locked out of your home.

Please note, claims cannot be made within the first 14 days of the policy. Our Home emergency cover is only for unforeseen failures and problems, so we can't cover maintenance issues or problems that worsen gradually over time.

Saga Home Emergency Insurance is provided by Inter Partner Assistance S.A, part of the AXA group.

Legal Expenses

Our Legal Expenses option includes an Online Safety Support Service. This means you can get advice, support and solutions for identity fraud, computer viruses and suspicious emails - as well as Legal costs of up to £100,000 for a range of proceedings.

Our Legal Expenses cover provides the following benefits:

  • Unlimited legal and tax advice
  • Up to £100,000 for a variety of legal proceedings
  • 24-hour fraud and scam helpline
  • Protection for Legal claims and disputes for you and any family members permanently living with you
  • Cover for a range of legal proceedings relating to your home, contract disputes, employment, death, personal injury and more
  • 24-hour Online Safety Support Service offering expert advice and assistance to help you prevent viruses and restore your electronic devices following a potential cyber-attack.

Please note that we cover claims as long as an independent legal representative believes you can win your case. You should ensure that you have basic security software installed on your electronic devices and accounts should be password protected. Cover is available when the likely value of the legal claim is greater than the costs of pursuing the legal claim and we cover pre-existing contracts as long as the incident occurred during the period of insurance.

Saga Legal Expenses Cover is underwritten by RAC Insurance Ltd. The Online Safety Support Service is managed and administered by RAC Insurance Limited.
