Home Emergency Cover for Holiday Home Owners

The home emergency policy that we provide for UK holiday home owners (UK properties only), will provide assistance to you in your home. We will respond with expert help if you suffer an emergency arising from an incident covered under this policy and send a contractor out who will take action to resolve the emergency. The purpose of the home emergency insurance policy is to work alongside your household buildings or contents insurance policy. Whilst we are happy to assist you in an emergency by sourcing a contractor, we aren’t able to provide you with help relating to day-to-day maintenance of your home and its contents.
