Home-based holiday property insurance
Holiday property insurance is something you are likely to be arranging whether your second home is at home or abroad.
In either case, you might find that a specialist insurance provider has that extra degree of expertise and knowledge to help make sure that the particular vulnerabilities of a holiday home remain safely protected. If your holiday home is abroad, a specialist might also help negotiate the additional problems of insuring property overseas, understanding any local rules and regulations, and speaking the language.
Home and away holiday property insurance
On the face of it, holiday property insurance might not seem such a very different matter to any other home insurance: typically, you are looking to safeguard the structure and fabric of the building itself from such potentially major disasters as fire, flooding, storm damage, impacts, falling objects and vandalism; at the same time, you are likely to want to protect the contents of the property from these same risks, plus theft and accidental damage.
A major difference with your holiday home insurance, however, is that it is just that – cover especially designed to safeguard a second home, which you are unlikely to occupy throughout the year and may be left empty for significant periods of time.
An empty property, of course, is typically far more vulnerable to a wide range of potentially damaging events. When there is no one occupying your holiday home, for example, there may be no one to discourage and deter thieves and other ne’er do wells. When there is no one there to spot a minor repair or maintenance problem, there may be nothing to stop it developing into a far more serious problem.
Second home insurance is typically designed to take such additional risks and problems into account, so that your second home remains fully protected throughout the year – whether there is anyone living there or not.
Away
If your holiday home is abroad, there may be all these concerns to reckon with – and more, too.
Perhaps one of the greatest obstacles to your knowing what cover you are buying and obtaining the reassurance that insurance is designed to bring is the fact that policies arranged by local providers are inevitably written in a foreign – and therefore far more difficult to understand – language.
That need not be the case, however, if you arrange the cover through a UK home-based insurance provider. These may be able to conduct every detail in English, in terms with which you are likely to be thoroughly familiar, wherever the property concerned might be situated.
With holiday property insurance arranged through a UK-based provider, any claim you might have to conduct is then negotiated entirely in your own language, however complicated or confusing the situation might be in the country where your second home is located.
