Other Options:

Holiday Home
Is the house a former family home which has become unoccupied due to the death of a parent?
In many cases these houses are used by family members at different times during the year when they come home on holidays etc. In such cases, a holiday home policy can be the best option. This option should be discussed with your provider. It may not always work.

Rental Property
If it is a rental property that has become unoccupied and is back up for rent, then the existing policy will often allow a period of time in which the property can be unoccupied. You need to read the terms and conditions of the policy + contact your insurance provider to discuss your options.

Unoccupied House Policy
There are specialist insurers who target unoccupied house insurance. You can access these insurers through Martin Insurance. The level of cover and terms and conditions will vary depending on:
– the age of the property.
– if the property is under renovation.
– the length of time since the property was last occupied.
– alarms.
– area
– etc
