What is unoccupied home insurance?
Unoccupied home insurance is a special type of cover that protects your property when it is left empty for longer than your standard home insurance policy allows.
This type of cover protects your home against the increased risks associated with leaving your property unattended.
When might I need vacant house insurance?
You’ll usually need specialist home insurance for an empty property if you’re leaving your property empty for 30 days or more as most standard home insurance policies will only cover a property if it’s unoccupied for less than 30 days.
Whatever your reason for vacating your house, we can cover you. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Awaiting sale on the house
- Undergoing renovation or construction
- Your home is under probate
- Bought a property to let but it’s currently unoccupied
- Property is a second or holiday home and is left vacant when not in use
- You’re going away on business or on an extended holiday
