Protected Building Insurance
Specialist Cover for Listed, Historic & Protected Structures
Owning a protected structure or historic property in Ireland is a privilege — but it also brings unique insurance challenges. Standard home insurance often isn’t suitable for protected buildings, listed properties, or period homes that require specialist handling and conservation-aware cover.
Why Protected Buildings Need Specialist Insurance
Protected structures in Ireland often feature older construction methods, traditional materials, and strict planning regulations. These characteristics can make them difficult to insure under standard policies.
Key risks include:
- Higher restoration costs using specialist craftsmen and traditional materials
- Strict planning consent rules that control how repairs and renovations are carried out
- Greater exposure to damage from fire, weather, damp, or subsidence
- Unique liability obligations for owners of protected buildings
CUsafe works with insurers who specialise in heritage and protected properties, ensuring you receive the right level of protection for your historic home.
What Our Protected Building Insurance Can Cover
Our policies are designed around the specific needs of protected and historic buildings. Coverage can include:
- Buildings cover including heritage features and traditional materials
- Contents insurance for period fixtures, antiques and valuables
- Accidental damage options
- Public liability cover for injury or property damage
- Alternative accommodation if the building becomes uninhabitable
- Cover for approved renovations that follow conservation guidelines
- Protection for outbuildings and boundary structures
Our team will guide you on what is essential, what is optional, and how best to structure your policy.
