Chubb understands the complexity of rebuilding custom, architecturally unique and historic homes.
When you purchase a Masterpiece policy, one of Chubb’s Risk Consultants will visit your property to make sure you have the right coverage for your home, as well as assist with security and loss prevention advice and offer suggestions to protect your valuables from damage and theft.

During a home appraisal inspection, you will experience our team’s expertise in risk mitigation and receive a comprehensive risk assessment. We provide accurate sums insured, which helps to:
a) offer the most appropriate financial settlement should you need to make a claim; and
b) settle your claims quickly and fairly.
As a result of the home appraisal service, we can provide “Extended Replacement Cost” cover for your home. This means that we would pay the full amount to rebuild your home, whatever the cost,so you can restore your home’s features with like-for-like quality and materials.
How does a Masterpiece Home Appraisal work?
When you purchase a Chubb Masterpiece policy, you may be eligible for a personal home appraisal free of charge. The nature of the appraisal, whether it is an external assessment or a full home appraisal, will depend on the sum insured and location of the property.
Each Risk Consultant has the expertise required to assess the architectural features unique to your home both inside and out. They estimate the replacement value of all features and take into account rarity of materials, unique design features and the need for skilled craftsmanship.
The in-depth process typically takes around an hour, but may extend to a few hours for larger properties. Afterwards, you will receive an appraisal report that may include photographs of key features.
Chubb's Risk Consultants stay updated on claims trends and causes of large losses, working alongside our claims staff. Key areas of advice and tips include:
