We should be clear here and state that we’re experts in home
and office removals – not insurance!
However, due to the very nature of our business, we do have
considerable experience as home and office movers plus associated insurance. As
part of that, we’re sometimes asked questions by our clients about vacant
properties and insurance cover. That might come about if you’ve purchased a
home but can’t actually move into it for say a few weeks.
So, here are a few
key points to keep:
- If you have insurance on your new property, it may cover a period of time where the property can stand unoccupied. That’s typically somewhere around 30-45 consecutive days and is designed to cope with things such as holiday and business trip absences etc. However, it’s NOT indefinite cover.
- If your property will stand unoccupied for longer than that, you might need to take out what’s called “unoccupied property insurance” (the terminology might differ) if your cover is to be maintained; Read more about.......Unoccupied Home Insurance.
