Second home insurance designed for ex-pats and people working away from home
Ex-pats and overseas workers often need to arrange insurance for their UK address which is unoccupied for longer periods because they work or live overseas.
Some people decide to let out their property while they are away, but many prefer to keep their house unoccupied and available for returning for short periods at any time. However, this makes arranging insurance for the UK property difficult.
An unoccupied property insurance policy will provide the cover needed, but doesn't allow for living in the home on your return. A landlords insurance policy is fine if you let it out, a holiday home policy will often have unworkable warranties and demands made by the insurer.
Meanwhile, a standard home insurance policy will usually have exclusions which apply after the property is not lived in for more than a few weeks. Worse still, an insurer could class the fact that the property is not fully occupied as a breach of the original conditions of the policy, and void cover completely.
