Hi there,

I'm buying a house and it's grade II listed. Who are you insured with as M&S won't cover me for it.

Cheers!

Interesting - I'm in a listed building and no problem with M&S for contents cover. Zurich for bricks and motar insurance

My brothers just used Nationwide as M&S wouldn't touch his house, quite a reasonable quote too i think.

assetsure, very good and very reasonable (will match quotes at renewal time). even gave me 'at home' bike insurance for just a few quid extra after i'd been with them for a year.

Excellent - I'll try above mentioned.

TJ - I have M&S for contents, but they won't touch the building.

I ring around every year for listed insurance. Thankfully moving house soon so won't have to bother in future.

A couple that do it are Hiscox and Churchill (current insurer).

More Than and Norwich Union didn't.

Direct Line did but they require a valuation, which you should have if you are buying the house.

Try a comparison website. They are a load of crap but if you do a quote it should tell you who does listed and who doesn't.

EDIT: We get both Buildings and content from Churchill.

I have M&S for the contents only, and Woolwich now Barclays (my mortgage company for buildings insurance). Listed Building owner.

It must be since M&S changed underwriters as up to 2 years ago I had buildings insurance with them in a listed building.

Currently the building is insured with Norwich Union.
