Unoccupied Property Insurance

Properties which become empty or vacant for more than 30 consecutive days typically require Unoccupied Property Insurance. As a property owner, there may be many reasons as to why your property has been left unoccupied. This could be due to: home renovation, if you are selling the property, a landlord could have a gap in the tenancy, extended holidays, long-term illness and houses pending sale. Unoccupied Home Insurance covers your home if it’s left empty for longer than a standard property or home insurance policy allows. Therefore having Unoccupied Property Insurance can be advantageous if you plan on or do have properties left unattended for more than 30 days, as these properties are more susceptible to risks such as: fires, theft and other hazards.

Fleet and Haulage Insurance

It is crucial to have sufficient Fleet or Haulage Insurance for your vehicles and company to protect you against any unforeseen risks and potential liabilities. Fleet Insurance is easier to keep track of as you could have just one renewal date and one policy to worry about. The flexibility of Fleet Insurance allows for easy additions or removals of vehicles from the policy throughout the year, helping to ensure that your cover is always up to date. Haulage vehicles, due to their size and weight, can result in significantly greater damage in the event of accidents.
