Liability cover
Whether you use your holiday home for yourself or choose to let it out, it is important to ensure you are covered for liability to the public or any domestic employees. Our policies include liability cover up to the amounts shown within your policy wording and schedule, with the potential to increase the cover as required.
Alternative accommodation and emergency travel
If your property experiences a claim that exceeds £1500, with the insurer’s agreement, you will be able to claim for the cost of a return journey by air, sea, or rail to your holiday home to enable you to better manage the situation (subject to the limits set out within your policy wording).
Leaks and burst pipes
We call this 'escape of water or oil', and this is included as standard. Fully furnished properties, with Building & Contents cover, can remain unoccupied for up to 60 consecutive days with cover against loss or damage due to Escape of Water. Between 1 Nov - 31 Mar, when unoccupied overnight, any plumbed systems must be drained down or property maintained at a minimum 15C for cover to apply. (Not applicable to Spanish, Portuguese, Greek and Southern Cypriot Holiday Homes.)
UK based claims service and policy wording
Should you need to claim on your holiday home insurance policy, to ensure you have a simple and straightforward claims experience, we utilise a UK based claims call centre staffed by insurance professionals. They will have access to your policy wording, which is tailored to be compliant with local requirements wherever your holiday home is located.
