Holiday home insurance UK
Protect your UK holiday retreat and its contents with specialist holiday let insurance
Why is UK holiday home insurance important?
Holiday homes, by their very nature, can often be left empty for long periods of time so you need insurance that takes this into account. A standard insurance policy is not sufficient to cover your holiday house.
If you rent out your holiday home in the UK, you need a policy that is flexible enough for you to be covered while there are paying guests at the house.
What properties are covered with our holiday letting insurance?
Although you might think of your holiday property as a home from home for the summer, without you being there all of the time, it can often be at more risk than your main residence. Imagine if something happened, like a leaky pipe or a break-in, and you were none the wiser for weeks and weeks!
Holiday homes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes across the UK. As long as the building has fixed foundations, we can provide:
- Cottage insurance.
- Mansion insurance.
- Lodge insurance.
- Country home insurance.
- Barn conversion insurance.
How our holiday let insurance UK is different
HomeProtect offers one of the most flexible holiday letting insurance policies in the UK. While many other insurers prefer only to cover your main residence, HomeProtect covers holiday homes on the coast, barn conversions, B&Bs including Airbnb and much more.
