Our Tips & Guidance on Risk Prevention

Do not make it obvious that the property is vacant / disused / unoccupied – refrain from any boarding up or leaving a padlock on the gate or other no-entry obstructions which would inadvertently make it obvious there’s nobody there.
Keep the lawns and driveway in good order – cut the grass regularly and weed the drive & flower beds. If it looks well kept, it looks like there’s someone there.
Keep a light on a timer upstairs and downstairs to come on when darkness falls and to switch off at normal bedtime
Do not leave bins or furniture outside the property unless for immediate collection
Be aware of the Unoccupied Property Conditions or Unoccupancy Clause on your policy as there will be commitments there for you to manage to ensure cover is not adversely affected
Visit the house regularly and take a look through the internal and external areas.

In some circumstances cover can be extended when the property becomes occupied by tenants to include the full range of perils including also Loss of Rent & Accidental Damage to Buildings.
Policies can be cancelled mid-term if property gets sold

Fire, Lightning, Aircraft & Explosion cover in respect of Buildings (& Contents where required)
