Insurance for second homes used by friends and family is not to be confused with the completely different type of insurance required when the property is let.  When let, you need a self catering insurance ( holiday let insurance )

This advice page refers to your holiday home that is used by you, family and friends and not commercially let out.

Importantly second homes are regularly left unattended and not lived in.  There are therefore several key points to consider when obtaining the correct insurance.  Price is absolutely no clue as to the suitability of a policy.

Unoccupany & documented inspections for your holiday home.

Second homes are not lived in regularly.  All property insurances –  even your own home – will restrict cover after a certain period of unoccupancy.  This period varies between insurers.

• Consider how often the property will be slept in, and does this coincide with the policy’s unoccupancy limitation?

• Be very aware of the insurer’s security (ie locks and bolts), inspection and heating requirements.

Ideally, an independent third party would carry out the inspections and record these in writing or video as evidence to the insurer to prevent voiding a claim. You should make sure that you and your managing agent are aware of the unoccupancy period stated in your policy, and that if there is a change to this e.g.; change of insurer, or amendment to the insurer’s requirements you must update your agent accordingly.
