Insuring an unoccupied house

By |2022-05-16T08:35:46+00:00June 29th, 2019|insurance, Uncategorized, Unoccupied Commercial Property Insurance, Unoccupied Residential Property Insurance|Comments Off on Insuring an unoccupied house

Insuring an unoccupied house Unoccupied House Insurance is different! Some people think that no insurance is required for an unoccupied house that they may rent out or they take out home insurance cover and don’t consider whether there home is actually regarded as occupied or not. Well it should be considered that unoccupied properties are regarded as 'high risk' by insurers. That is why they tend to charge higher premiums to keep them covered. It is also why they may add in extra conditions to keep the property covered. By adding extra conditions, what the insurance companies are trying to do, is reduce that extra risk. It is therefore essential that you have the right cover in place. Top Tip - If you have a policy in place already, tell your insurers or insurance broker that the property is now empty and your existing policy should be able to [...]
