House Insurance When Away.

Thanks so much for all the answers. We have started searching.

We paid a small supplement with LV to insure my mums house when it was empty after she moved into a care home. There was however a requirement that someone checked the house regularly ( possibly weekly) but as this was during the first lockdown, we were not required to do that.

I was very relieved that we did pay for this cover after a burst mains water pipe caused over £20k of damage - all paid by the insurance!

Our friends have a mutual friend stay in their house three nights a week when they’re away for long trips. Deters opportunists as well.

According to Money Supermarket you can buy an add-on.

I have heard of this and friends who usually spend November to March in New Zealand and Dubai always have someone staying in their house, for this reason.

Ours is a reputable local company and is 60 days.

Google house insurance for 100 day holiday

There are several companies

I think that’s a fairly normal clause, I’ve a feeling mine is 30 days. I’m sure you could pay an additional premium for extra cover.

I’m sure you could if you paid more, but it would be on an individual quotation for your particular circumstances. You need to ask for special cover.
