What do you do if away from home for extended period in the winter?
I have spoken to the company I buy Building and Contents cover from and we are currently limited to 30 days continuously unoccupied. That can be increased to 90 days, but they put some requirements on, and the one that I have concerns about is:
They want the water turned off and the boiler drained down. I would prefer to turn the water off, but leave the condensing gas boiler and central heating on a low setting. I can do this but they then exclude claims for anything freezing or any escaping water damage
