01603 649650Unoccupied Property Insurance is for property owners or landlords. Unoccupied property insurance can be used when a property is being renovated and not occupied. Our policy covers properties undergoing renovation Standard household insurance products will not provide the level of cover required. While some standard household policies offer minimal protection, most household policies will not. Many renovation projects are on buildings of non-standard construction, so it is essential to make sure the insurance is adapted to cater for this.
Having dealt with a variety of insurance requirements over a number of years we appreciate that not all risks are standard. As an independent insurance broker we are not tied to any specific insurer enabling us to select from a range of products suitable for your needs. We work closely with insurers and have access to options many of our competitors do not.
Excellent advice in understanding my requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending. Keep up the good work!
