If you are an keen collector, your specialist collection could be worth hundreds, even thousands of pounds. Many collectors do not realise the value of their collections and may be under-insured as a result.

Many families pass on items such as childrens books from generation to generation without realising how valuable they can be today. The vintage Ladybird books, for example, are often sold on auction sites such as Ebay for 10 or more. It doesn’t take many of these to create a collection worth hundreds of pounds.

Rather as having a wine collection is becoming more popular, so too is collecting in general. Whether the accidental collector or the avid collector of all things from modern antiques, ‘kitchenalia’, to some mass produced items if kept long enough in good condition, your collections could be worth a small fortune.

So maybe now is the time to look more carefully at the contents of your home, including any specialist collections, to ensure that you are adequately insured.

If the value of your specialist items is quite high then they may fall out of the standard insurance policies available from the more prominent insurance companies and comparison web sites. In this case you may need to consider taking out a high net worth or specialist insurance policy.

Online insurance companies and price comparison sites work on standard scenarios from their customers and so specialist or high net worth insurance requirements fall outside their capabilities. I this case you will probably need to talk to an insurance broker.

Not only will a broker negotiate as best a deal that they can with various insurance brokers, they will probably look at your overall insurance requirements and could create a package deal to cover all your insurance needs and could save you money in the process.
