As the festive season fades into the background and the new year gets underway, many people take a moment to reflect on the months just passed. For some, that includes meaningful or long-awaited purchases. These can range from watches and jewellery to fine art and collectables. Once the celebrations are over, however, a crucial next step is often overlooked: ensuring these new items are properly reflected in your insurance arrangements.
Reviewing your policy regularly is essential to ensure that cover for your valuables remains appropriate - not only to their value, but also to your wider personal circumstances.
It is equally important to be aware of any policy requirements, as failing to meet these could result in a partial or invalid claim at the point when it matters most.
At Verlingue Private Clients, we recommend having precious items professionally valued every three to five years.
In a fluctuating market, up-to-date valuations help ensure your insurance continues to reflect current values, particularly where collections evolve over time. They also support a smoother and more efficient claims process, providing reassurance should the unexpected occur.
Our specialists work closely with you to understand what matters most - from individual items to wider collections. Our team would be happy to review your insurance requirements and discuss a policy designed around you, offering confidence and peace of mind as the year unfolds.
