unoccupied property insurance Compare quotes to find the best insurance policy for you

Unoccupied property insurance in the UK is designed to protect homes when they are empty for longer than a standard home insurance policy allows, typically 30-60 days. This type of insurance covers risks like vandalism, fire, burglary, and burst pipes, which are more likely to occur in unoccupied properties. It’s crucial to have this insurance if your property will be empty for an extended period, as standard policies may not cover damage during unoccupancy. 
 
Key Details:
  • Coverage:
    Unoccupied insurance covers damage and loss to the building and/or contents, including risks like vandalism, theft, fire, and escape of water. 
     
  • Duration:
    Policies can be short-term (e.g., 3 months) or longer-term (e.g., 6 or 12 months) depending on the specific needs. 
     
  • Requirements:
    Some policies may have conditions, like regular inspections of the property while it’s unoccupied. 
     
  • Standard Home Insurance vs. Unoccupied:
    Most standard home insurance policies have a limited period (e.g., 30-60 days) during which the property can be unoccupied before cover is reduced or stopped. 
     
  • Specialist Policies:
    You’ll need a specialist unoccupied policy if your property will be empty for more than this limited period. 
     
  • Benefits:
    It provides peace of mind knowing your property is protected while you’re not there and can cover costs associated with damage or loss
