Unoccupied Property Insurance

Unoccupied property insurance covers you for when your property is empty for an extended period of time that falls outside of your standard level of cover. This could be during a renovation, sale or probate.

If there is nobody in your property for a period of time, the chance of theft go up, along with the risk of damage from natural elements such as storms or floods as there’s no one on hand to tackle repairs quickly, so the damage is often much worse.
