Query:
We're looking for expert insight into how much homeowners
insurance would cost for Bly Manor, from Netflix's "The Haunting
of Bly Manor" series.
You can take it literally and consider how you might insure such
a large manor/property, maybe compare it to similarly priced
manors. Netflix created a fake Zillow property for it --
https://www.zillow.com/house/bly-manor/
Have some fun with it and consider the "haunted" elements of the
house. We're looking for theoretical, but real numbers. Like
this piece we did --
https://www.thesimpledollar.com/insurance/home/selling-sunset-how-much-does-it-cost-to-insure-a-75-million-home/
Things about the house to consider: - Multiple deaths on
property (one died in lake, one died in well) - Very very old
(17th-century home) & potentially past claims based on the
history of the house we see in the show - Very large, set in the
countryside - Lake/swamp and well on property, large garden,
small church/steeple - Multiple employees who work at the home -
Is very haunted, lot's of ghosts (this likely isn't a recognized
risk, but maybe there are risks associated with ghosts). Might
"acts of God" have some traction here?
Requirements:
It would be ideal if you have seen the show and are familiar
with the house and the elements of the story that involve it.
