HNW

High-value homes, with markets that write them.

Above a certain value a standard homeowners form stops being appropriate.

Cennairus is a licensed wholesale insurance broker: retail agents send us the accounts their own markets cannot place, stay the agent of record, and we take each account to the markets on our panel of 145 carriers that write it. A high-value home policy is homeowners insurance for the houses a standard form does not price well: custom-built, waterfront, hillside or wildfire-interface homes, and households with collections. It changes the rebuild terms, with agreed value fixed at binding and extended or guaranteed replacement cost. Cennairus places it with markets that write these homes: we shop it.

What you get

Written where standard markets stop

Once dwelling value, construction or contents cross a certain point, the standard homeowners panel starts declining outright.

Value agreed before the loss

Agreed value settles the number at binding, not after a fire, so the rebuild does not turn into a negotiation over an estimate.

One household, several policies

Home, auto, umbrella, watercraft and the collection can all sit with markets built for the same relationship, placed as the separate policies each actually is.

Built from what’s already on file

A current declarations page or a contents appraisal is usually enough to start — our readers pull construction, systems and protective devices from it.

In plain terms

What does a high-value home policy change?

  • A standard homeowners form prices a home the way most homes get built — production-grade materials, a rebuild cost the carrier can estimate from square footage.
  • An HNW policy answers that gap two ways: agreed value fixes the rebuild number at binding instead of arguing over it after a loss, and extended or guaranteed replacement.
  • Clients end up here for a specific reason, not a preference.

Who buys it: owners of custom-built or architect-designed homes; waterfront, hillside and wildfire-interface properties; households with fine art, jewellery or wine collections; second and seasonal homes carried as a set; clients coming off a non-renewal from a standard carrier; households already buying a high-limit personal umbrella.

A high-value loss does not get adjusted like a standard one — agreed value and a carrier built for the segment mean the number was already settled before the fire, not after it.

Questions we get

HNW, answered

What actually makes a home “high-value”?

Not one dollar figure.

Extended or guaranteed replacement cost — which is which?

Extended adds a cushion above the stated limit for cost overruns; guaranteed rebuilds regardless of final cost.

Does the collection need its own appraisal?

For anything scheduled individually, yes — an appraisal or a professional inventory is what the carrier prices the item against.

What does an HNW carrier want on the home?

Year built, square footage, a replacement cost estimate, protective devices, and the prior policy or dec page if one exists.
