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
