Where can I find insurance for a heritage house under repair?
Hi Myra,
If the home is registered as a local heritage listing and the repairs are minor, that might be quite straightforward to arrange insurance. If the home is registered as heritage at a state level, the expectations and rules around upkeep of the home can be more stringent. Because this is a specialist home and situation, you might be best off approaching an insurance broker to find you suitable insurance.
Hope this helps!
