What is Holiday Home Insurance?

If you have a holiday home, it’ll face the same risks as your main home, so you’ll need insurance if you want it protected. Most standard home insurance policies won’t cover a holiday home, as ordinary home insurance cover isn’t enough. This is because insurers usually insist that any property they cover isn’t left empty for more than 30 days a year, ruling out most holiday homes.

If a holiday home is unoccupied most of the year, it increases the risk of burglary or damage – for instance, if a pipe starts leaking while you’re away, you might not discover it until after there’s been significant water damage. Holiday home insurance is designed to cover these extra risks. Each customer has very differing requirements when searching for holiday home insurance. Some individuals may be lucky enough to spend a large proportion of their time in their holiday home, while others may leave their property unoccupied for much of the year, or even use it as a holiday let.

Whatever your circumstance, the personal and friendly service we offer at Watkin Davies will help you find a holiday home insurance policy that matches your specific individual requirements exactly.
