Home and contents insurance

Home in Ireland

Ireland’s leading specialist in high net worth home insurance

The biggest mistake people make with home insurance is assuming that insurance is a commodity, and all policies are essentially the same. 

At DUAL, we prove otherwise, by writing policies that avoid onerous clauses in favour of broad wordings that offer genuine protection and comfort to your clients.

Broad policy wordings that offer genuine peace of mind

Most insurance contracts are written to have an element of room for manoeuvre on what is actually covered. Grey areas are not unusual.  

At DUAL, we provide all risks cover with broad, tailored wordings that provide comprehensive protection, so you can be confident that the wording will benefit your client in the event of a claim. 

This way, claims have a greatly improved chance of being paid promptly.

Enhanced coverage for high net worth home and contents

When you recommend a DUAL policy, you have the comfort of knowing that your client is covered by one of the most comprehensive policies in the market.

As such, we provide ‘all risk’ cover with generous inner limits for scenarios where other insurers may only offer policies with standard market terms. Such policies commonly feature many more restrictions. 

We have two policy wordings that offer superior coverage to that available on the open market: Aqua, and Private Client.

What DUAL policies cover

DUAL policies offer far greater coverage than standard market offerings. 

Our Aqua product offers coverage for:

  • Outbuildings
  • Trace and access
  • Professional fees
  • Loss of rent
  • Alternative accommodation
  • Garden and landscaping
  • Construction materials for building works
  • Public liability, including domestic employees
  • Credit card forgery
  • Fine art
  • Jewellery
  • Collections
  • Newly acquired items
  • Family legal issues (as specified in the policy schedule).

Our Private Client product has higher limits for much of the above, and additionally coverage for:

  • Water leak detection installation
  • Disability alterations
  • Green rebuilding cover
  • Security upgrade after aggravated breaking and entering
  • Fallen trees removal
  • Memorial plaques and stones
  • Relatives in care contents
  • Event cancellation
  • Collection items on out on loan (for example to galleries or exhibitions)
  • Golf hole in one cover.
