Insuring your holiday home? Our guide will give you everything you need to know.
Why Protect Your Holiday Home
Holiday homes are frequently rented out or left empty for long periods. This makes them more vulnerable to damage, vandalism, and break-ins. Standard home insurance usually does not cover these risks. A specialist home insurance provider can assist.
We cover most types of properties. With our Defaqto 5-star rating and excellent customer service, your holiday home will be in safe hands.
- Competitive cover for UK holiday homes
- Unique non-standard homes and circumstances are our speciality
