When you inherit a property from a deceased relative
When the property is undergoing extensive refurbishment
Yes and no. Most policies may cover an unoccupied property for 28 days. After which, you will no longer be covered, meaning you need unoccupied property insurance.
The usual coverage that you get from most home insurance policies. This mainly includes buildings and contents cover, with the option of some emergency coverage added on.
Yes, as the property could still be subjected to damages. However, if you have nothing inside the property at all, you may not need contents insurance as part of the policy.
If your rental property is unoccupied between tenants, you may need this insurance - but only if it stays unoccupied for over 28 days.
It depends on how much coverage you need and the value of your home and its contents.
It depends on the policy, so be sure to check how long the coverage will last.
No, but it can help to protect a valuable asset that's vulnerable to damages, theft and vandalism.
