FAQs
Why should I buy my insurance from the UK when my property is in France?
While it is perfectly acceptable to buy an insurance product in the country where your property is located, we find that a UK based policy gives you peace of mind. You can fully understand the policy and the covers available. You will deal with UK knowledgeable staff and if language is a barrier, when you need to make a claim or have an emergency, dealing with someone in English can be a quick way of getting a resolution to your problem.
Are your insurance companies’ experts in all the countries you cover?
Yes, the FSA regulated companies that we pass your enquiries to have vast experience of insuring properties in a wide range of countries.
Do I need different insurance as this is an investment property?
Most people that own a holiday home are doing so for investment purposes and to have that bolt hole in the sun, so making sure you have the right cover levels will give you peace of mind. That said a holiday home insurance policy is different to a normal home insurance product
Can’t I just buy a normal home buildings and contents insurance product?
There are differences between normal owner-occupied home insurance and that for holiday home insurance. One of these differences includes legal liability cover for employees. While you may not feel that you have employees in your second home, you could have a cleaner, or a management company that looks after your property. While they are on your property, if the overseas property insurance provider offers this cover, these employees are covered under your insurance, so you need to make sure you have the right cover in place. A normal home insurance product will typically not have this level of cover.
