Why Do You Need Unoccupied Home Insurance?
If a property is going to be left unoccupied for 30 consecutive days or more, it is usually subject to greater risk, for example a minor leak could become a major problem if left unnoticed. Similarly, properties where it is evident that no one is at home are more susceptible to theft, vandalism and damage caused by squatters.
Standard buildings and contents policies often do not provide sufficient cover for unoccupied properties. Plus, policies will usually be deemed invalid should it come to light that the property was left unattended for 30 days or more if cover for this is not provided.
When it comes to unoccupied home insurance there are lots of variables to consider, for example; why is the property unoccupied? Where is the property located? Is there a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in place? Will there be contractors on site? What security measures have been taken? All of these things can affect the cover required and the price, which is why at Intelligent Insurance we take everything into account before providing a quote based on all the facts.
