What is Property Owners Insurance?

Unlike normal household insurance, property owners’ insurance is a specialist insurance policy designed for properties which are owned but not currently occupied by the owner but either let out to a tenant or unoccupied. Many property owners are unaware that a normal household insurance policy is not designed for let or unoccupied properties and as such those property owners will suffer financially in the event of a claim should their properties not be covered correctly through an appropriate property owner’s insurance policy.

It is highly recommended that landlords seek the right advice and get protection for their assets through a comprehensive property owners insurance policy to ensure the correct protection is in place.

With this extension you can be assured of the financial assistance you need to repair or replace damaged items.

What cover is offered on Unoccupied Properties?

Almost all property owners insurance policies have strict conditions in place should a property become vacant.
These types of conditions are usually enforced after a fixed time frame usually 14 , 30 or 60 days extending to 90 days in some cases may include endorsements such as daily or weekly property visits and maintaining visit records, sealing up of letter boxes, turning off water supplies and draining systems, turning off electricity and gas supplies .

The standard cover usually offered is FLEA (Fire, Lighting, Explosion and Aircraft), However it is possible to increase cover at an extra premium, please asked for assistants if required. Please check your policy conditions carefully to ensure that it meets with your requirements.
