What Is Unoccupied Property Insurance?

There are many reasons you may need to leave your property unoccupied. It could be that you’ve been renting it out, but it’s currently vacant, or that it's undergoing renovations, you're rebuilding, trying to sell after a bereavement, or, you may just want to sell the property whilst moving into another recent purchase. 

 

Whatever the circumstances, if you’re not at home for an extended period, unoccupied properties are easy targets for thieves. They can also be affected by storm damage and flooding. When left, empty properties can create a variety of costly issues. 

 

Insurance for unoccupied property can give peace of mind to know that you’ve got the right insurance, while you’re not there to keep an eye on it.
