Holiday let insurance


Crofter

Recommended Posts

I'm struggling a bit to find cover. Our house is our primary residence but we also let it out as a furnished holiday let when we're not there. I haven't had trouble with this before, but for whatever reason the company I was with are now saying that its difficult to find an underwriter who will cover this specific circumstance.

 

It seems that most of the specialist holiday home insurers assume that it's a second home, the primary risk being long periods of time unoccupied.

 

I wonder if I'm better approaching a more general insurer and seeing if they will allow me to also let it out?

 

It's probably a long shot but if anybody on here is in a similar position or can suggest a company, that would be really helpful. Insurance must be the most boring thing in the world so anything I can do to tick this off my to do list would be appreciated!

I had problems getting my Airbnb cabin insured but then went to my local NFU who I  already have my house and car insurance with and they were very helpful, definitely more expensive than others but at least it’s done.

I've heard good things about NFU, proper service and prompt payout if you ever need it. I'll give my local guy a call.
