Perils

Many standard home insurance policies will generally only offer protection for your property if it is unoccupied for 30 consecutive days or less. If you are away for a longer period, then your home insurance policy becomes invalid. Meaning, if something went wrong and you needed to claim, that claim could be declined and you would be left out of pocket. If you’re aware that you’re going to be away for longer, then InsuraHome’s Unoccupied Home Insurance can offer the added protection and peace of mind that whilst you are away, your property will still be covered for perils such as fire, subsidence, earthquakes and more!
