Non-standard home insurance is sometimes referred to specialist home insurance and applies to those homes that aren’t eligible for standard home insurance. This is usually because unusual or old-fashioned building methods have been used.

‘Non-standard’ refers to many different situations. For example, a building that isn’t made of brick or stone and doesn’t have a slate or tile roof is referred to as ‘non-standard’. Many standard insurers won’t insure such properties, as replacing or repairing non-standard materials can be expensive and time-consuming, which is why a more specialist approach is necessary.
