When standard home insurance says no: Caledon featured in The Q in Review
Posted: 27 October 2026
360Search invited Caledon MGA to contribute a guest feature to its quarterly market newsletter, The Q in Review, Autumn 2026 edition.
We took the opportunity to explain why Ireland needs a specialist approach to home insurance - and what that means for brokers with difficult-to-place risks.
Featuring Steven Bishop, Business Development Director and Tobias Daley, Underwriting Director; “Why Ireland Needs a Specialist Approach to Home Insurance” explores why properties with previous subsidence, unusual construction, renovation works, complex occupancy and other ‘non-standard’ aspects can fall outside conventional underwriting criteria. It also considers under-insurance and why understanding a property’s individual circumstances matters more than fitting it into a standard template.
At Caledon MGA Ireland, we give brokers access to experienced underwriters who look at the story behind the risk and consider whether cover can be provided. We cannot insure every property, but we offer another route when standard options have been exhausted.
