Why you need Home Insurance for your unoccupied property

InsuraHome Home Insurance explains in 5 quick and easy steps why you need home insurance for your unoccupied property.

Perils

Many standard home insurance policies will generally only offer protection for your property if it is unoccupied for 30 consecutive days or less. If you are away for a longer period, then your home insurance policy becomes invalid. Meaning, if something went wrong and you needed to claim, that claim could be declined and you would be left out of pocket. If you’re aware that you’re going to be away for longer, then InsuraHome’s Unoccupied Home Insurance can offer the added protection and peace of mind that whilst you are away, your property will still be covered for perils such as fire, subsidence, earthquakes and more!

Theft and Vandalism

Thieves, vandals and even squatters more often than not, target properties that are unoccupied. With InsuraHome Home Insurance should the unforeseen happen such as the above whilst your property is unoccupied, you can still be protected from vandalism and malicious damage to your home with Buildings and Contents cover.

Legal Expenses

Legal expenses are included as standard with InsuraHome’s unoccupied home insurance. This offers protection against property damage, personal identity theft and also provides cover against injury to domestic staff working at the property whilst it is unoccupied. InsuraHome Home Insurance also provides public legal liability in the event an accident at the premises leaves a member of the public with a bodily injury.

Damage to services

It can be a nightmare to discover that your property is leaking water, gas, oil or another substance from underground pipework whether you live in your property or not and could end up being quite a costly repair. Especially if you are not there whilst the damage is occurring.

InsuraHome’s unoccupied home insurance still offers the vital protection against accidental damage to those underground pipes and cables to the property which you are legally responsible for.
