What is Overseas Property Insurance?
An overseas property presents unique risks that are different to those covered under a standard home insurance policy. The 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 or vandalism during these periods.
Therefore, a specialist overseas home insurance policy is required to provide protection where a normal home insurance would not.
Our InsuraHome Overseas Holiday Home Insurance policies can be adjusted to meet your needs, with ability to provide cover for both buildings and contents, whilst automatically including Legal Expenses cover. With a case-by-case approach, Insurahome Overseas Home Insurance can provide your holiday home or overseas holiday let property with the protection you require.
Overseas Holiday Home Insurance is Available For:
- Policy applies to short term holiday lettings or;
- Properties used for own use, or friends & family.

Overseas Property Insurance Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
What Insurance do I need for a holiday let?
As the risks associated with insurance for your own home are different to those associated with renting out your property as a holiday home, you will often need to get specialist Holiday home insurance to cover these specific risks that are not covered under or excluded under a standard home insurance policy.
What insurance do I need for Airbnb?
Airbnb offer their hosts ‘Host Protection Insurance’ up to $1 million per rental to provide hosts with liability coverage and where applicable their landlords subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations. They also provide a free ‘host guarantee’ that covers damage to the host’s home or property caused by guests, up to $1million subject to numerous terms and conditions. This however is not insurance and Airbnb states that it “should not be considered a replacement or stand-in for homeowners or renters’ insurance” – click here to find out more. This also does not mean that it will cover everything and therefore it is always a good idea to get holiday home insurance that covers Airbnb lettings that meet your property requirements to ensure you have the protection you require.
Do I need Public Liability Insurance for a holiday let?
Unlike an employer legally being required to have Employers Liability Insurance, there is no legal requirement for a holiday homeowner to have public liability insurance in the UK. However, if a guest staying in your let property were to sustain an injury from an accident whilst staying in your property you could be left substantially out of pocket from an expensive medical bill. Therefore it is always a good idea to include Public Liability Insurance on your Holiday Home Insurance policy.

Please Note - When purchasing Home Insurance you will be required to provide the rebuild cost of your home to the insurers. If you are unsure of your rebuild cost, please either request a rebuild cost assessment from a chartered surveyor or use the Rebuild Cost Calculator below
House Rebuild Costs
When taking out Home Insurance, you are insuring your house for the cost of rebuilding it to the same standard as it is now, you are not insuring it for its value on the open market. When quoting you for a Home Insurance policy we will ask you for the rebuild cost of your home.
If you are not sure how much it would cost to rebuild your home then you can either have a rebuild cost assessment carried out by a Chartered Surveyor (which some insurers prefer) or you can use the house rebuild cost calculator below.
