Home and Contents Insurance

[Chris and Tim]

Our insurance is due renewal and we've just been told that our current provider, Policy Expert, will not provide cover for anyone who will be away from their home for more than 45 days. I assume that this problem is familiar to others who, like us, travel abroad for up to the maximum permitted 90 days. Is there an insurance company that anyone can recommend which will provide cover for absence of that length?

 

[Wombles]

Bump - can anyone advise?

M and S insurance 90 days, no restrictions or need for people to pop around.

Caravan Club (CAMH) or Camping & Caravanning Club both do 90 days.

Second M&S, bike cover is excellent particularly if you have more than one. You just insure the most expensive one and every other bike is covered!

Thanks for the tip. I’m now LV Moho and M&S Home insurance.

Aviva Insurance will increase the cover to 90 days for an additional £20 - I had to specify the dates this was to cover but saves changing the provider.

Presently no idea regarding any prospective dates but glad to have the facility. M&S bank quotation process was very straightforward and released me from filling in detailed stuff which is so tedious.

Do Aviva have restrictions ie someone needs to inspect the property every week etc
With M&S there are no restrictions.

Aviva do not require any further measures, such as inspections, although I suggest you arrange for someone to flush toilets and run water through basins to replenish evaporated water to prevent traps drying out - or cover in cling film!
