Holiday Home
Holiday home insurance covers apartments, flats, cottages, chalets or second homes all year round, whether they are used by you or let to others…
Holiday homes can be difficult to cover under standard insurance policies. Adler Fairways have developed a package of non-standard insurance products to cover your holiday home against many eventualities. Unlike standard insurance, our policies can cater for when the property is left unoccupied for long periods of time or if you are looking to rent it out when you are not there.
As a specialist home insurance broker, we provide a tailored service that offers a full range of holiday home insurance products for people who own properties which are not their main residence. Cover is available for commercial holiday homes or just family and friends, and we can usually offer cover for European holiday homes as well as in UK. Contents cover can also be offered as part of a combined holiday home insurance package or on its own.
Main policy features *
