What is Unoccupied Home Insurance?

Unoccupied home insurance, also known as vacant home insurance or empty house insurance, is a specialist insurance policy designed to provide coverage for your home when it is not occupied by you or a tenant. Standard homeowner's insurance typically has limitations on coverage for unoccupied properties, making it essential to invest in a separate policy for this situation.

Unlike most unoccupied home insurance policies, ours requires no ongoing inspections and is completely flexible. Whether need insurance for one day or one year, we’ve got you covered.

Why Do You Need Unoccupied Home Insurance?

  1. Coverage Gaps: Standard homeowner's insurance policies often have limitations on unoccupied properties, such as reduced coverage or shorter coverage periods. Unoccupied home insurance fills these gaps, ensuring your property remains protected.

  2. Risk Mitigation: Vacant properties are at a higher risk of various perils, from break-ins to natural disasters. Unoccupied home insurance provides peace of mind by mitigating these risks and offering financial protection.

  3. Legal Obligations: Depending on your mortgage agreement or local regulations, you may be obligated to maintain insurance coverage on your property even when it's unoccupied. Failing to do so could result in financial penalties or legal consequences.

  4. Property Value Preservation: Protecting your unoccupied property ensures that it remains in good condition, preserving its value and marketability.

Unoccupied home insurance is a crucial investment for homeowners facing temporary vacancies. It provides comprehensive protection for your property and peace of mind while you're away. Be sure to discuss your specific needs and circumstances with an experienced insurance agent to tailor a policy that suits you best.
