If you own a holiday or second home in Europe and you are looking to get some financial protection in case the unexpected happens, then you will need specialist overseas property Insurance as a ‘normal’ home insurance policy is unlikely to be suitable for this requirement.

Whilst some home insurance providers are unable to offer this type of policy, InsuraHome Home Insurance are still able to provide homeowners, new and old, with an extensive home insurance policy for those that own a property in a number of countries within Europe.

InsuraHome’s European Holiday Home Insurance has been specifically designed for individuals living in the United Kingdom who own a second property or holiday property in Europe.

What is InsuraHome European Holiday Home Insurance?

Owning a holiday or second property overseas presents unique risks that are different to those covered under a ‘standard’ home insurance policy which you would purchase for your permanent residence. Overseas properties are often left unattended for extended periods of time or are let out for holiday makers on short term lets and are therefore at greater risk of damage, burglary or vandalism during these periods.

(For Information on how to help protect your home from burglary or vandalism, read our article on some possible preventative measures here.)

Accordingly, a specialist overseas home insurance policy is required to provide protection where a normal home insurance policy would not.

InsuraHome European Holiday Home Insurance policies can be adjusted to meet your individual needs, with the ability to provide cover for both buildings and contents, whilst automatically including cover for Legal Expenses. Insurahome European Holiday Home Insurance can help provide your holiday home or overseas holiday let property with the protection you require.
