Empty Property Insurance

Empty Property Insurance


Empty property insurance assists in keeping your property protected where a ‘standard’ home insurance might not.

As a property owner there can be many reasons why your property is empty – you may be renovating it, rebuilding it, trying to sell the property after a relative’s passing, selling the property following other personal circumstances, working away from home on business for an extended period, or you may be a landlord waiting for your next tenants to move in.

Whatever your position, if your property is empty for typically 30 to 45 consecutive days or more, then an existing home insurance policy may become restricted or even invalid in terms of the protection offered, leaving you financially vulnerable if something was to happen to your property or its contents.

At InsuraHome, we are experts in providing a wide-ranging Property Insurance solution for those wanting Insurance for an Empty Property. Whether your property is due to be empty for 30 days, 60 days or even a whole year, we can help protect your wallet and your peace of mind.

What is Empty Property Insurance?

Empty Property Insurance covers the risks you face when being absent from your property for a long period of time. In some cases, your mortgage provider may require you to obtain this specialist kind of cover because vacant homes can be more susceptible to burglary and / or vandalism.

Empty Property Insurance is different from a ‘standard’ home insurance policy because it specifically covers the risks associated with owning a vacant property. InsuraHome Home Insurance can help provide cover for you and your empty property from a number of perils such as fire, subsidence (Silver and Gold levels of cover), earthquakes and can may be able to offer protection where others may have declined in the past.

Empty Property Insurance UK – FAQs

Can you get insurance for an Empty House?

The simple answer is yes you can get insurance for an empty property. Empty property insurance covers you when your property is empty for longer than your standard home insurance policy will allow. InsuraHome Empty Property Insurance can provide cover for vacant properties for periods of 90, 180, 270 days or annual cover.

What counts as an Empty Property?

You may be wondering – how long can I leave my house vacant so that It’s still covered? In terms of standard normal home insurance, an empty property is usually one that has been left uninhabited for more than 30 days. This is because most standard home insurance policies will not cover your property if it is left vacant for longer than 30-60 days because of the increased risk of theft, vandalism, a burst pipe being undiscovered and more. Therefore, there are specialised non-standard empty property insurance policies available on the market designed to cover these risks and circumstances.

How much does Empty Property Insurance cost?

The cost of an empty property insurance policy will vary depending on many factors such as the value of the property, condition of the property as well as the location and security of the property as if the property is in an area with a high crime rate, then the price of cover is likely to increase. In general, empty property insurance will cost more than a standard home insurance policy in terms cost per day of cover due to the additional risks associated with an empty property.

How do I prepare my empty property for winter?

Many things could potentially go wrong with your property such as burst frozen pipes, flooding, loss of heating, leaky roof and other unexpected surprises.

House Rebuild Costs

When taking out Home Insurance, you are insuring your house for the cost of rebuilding it to the same standard as it is now, you are not insuring it for its value on the open market. When quoting you for a Home Insurance policy we will ask you for the rebuild cost of your home.

If you are not sure how much it would cost to rebuild your home then you can either have a rebuild cost assessment carried out by a Chartered Surveyor (which some insurers prefer) or you can use the house rebuild cost calculator below.
