Holiday home insurance is designed to insure your holiday home, which may be in the UK or abroad, from the risks that can be greater than for your own home.

As your holiday home may be left unattended for reasonably long periods, and may be located in a foreign country, it is important that your policy provides sufficient cover to meet these specialised circumstances.

In addition, the difficulties of dealing with a foreign language and inherent complexities in local legislation mean that it is often wise to insure your holiday home with a UK based insurance company rather than through a notary or lawyer close to your property. Ths is particularly important if you have to make a claim as you will be dealing with UK based company rather than having to communicate with a foreign company via long distance phone calls and in different time zones.

A number of UK companies offering holiday home insurance are listed on this page creating a convenient way for you to compare the great deals on offer.
