Protect your investment even when it’s vacant!

Owning an unoccupied property presents unique challenges and risks. Without the proper insurance, you could suffer significant financial losses due to unforeseen events such as vandalism, theft, or damage. This is where our unoccupied property insurance steps in.

According to Government statistics from November 2023, there are over a quarter of a million long-term empty residential properties in the UK. Owners of these properties face issues that are less common in occupied homes, including:

  • Increased risk of arson
  • Increased risk of burglary
  • Vandalism
  • Leaking roofs, blockages, and stagnant water in pipes
  • Infestations
  • Damp and mold

We offer tailored unoccupied property insurance coverage to protect your investment, ensuring you have the peace of mind you deserve. Whether you are going abroad for an extended period, refurbishing your home, or dealing with a bereavement, our insurance solutions have you covered.

Understanding the cover

What is Unoccupied Property Insurance and why you might need it?

Unoccupied property insurance is a specialised type of insurance designed to protect properties that are vacant for an extended period. Standard home insurance policies often do not cover homes that are left unoccupied for more than 30 to 60 days, leaving these properties vulnerable to various risks.

This specialised insurance fills the gap, offering coverage for potential hazards such as vandalism, theft, fire, and water damage.

Whether the property is unoccupied due to being on the market, undergoing renovations, or awaiting new tenants, unoccupied property insurance provides peace of mind by safeguarding the owner’s investment against unexpected events.
