Yes, second home insurance offers specialised cover tailored to properties that aren’t your primary residence.
This typically includes protection against risks like vacancy periods, vandalism, and weather damage specific to the location.
Standard home insurance often does not cover these scenarios or may have limitations when applied to a secondary property.
The cost varies depending on factors like the location, value, and size of your second home, its construction type, the chosen level of coverage, and your claims history.
However, at Intelligent Insurance, we pride ourselves on finding competitive rates while ensuring comprehensive cover for your needs. Get your bespoke quote now.
Certain standard home insurance policies have restrictions on vacancy periods, often exceeding 30 days.
Leaving your second home empty for extended periods might require notifying your insurer or adjusting your policy to ensure continued coverage.
