Prestige Underwriting sees spike in non standard holiday home broker enquiries

While the UK’s love affair with a foreign holiday remains strong, booking the long-awaited holiday abroad may not be on the horizon for everyone this Summer!  With higher prices for airline tickets and the cost per person of the standard package holiday on the rise, it may be that the year of the staycation is not restricted to 2020/ 2021 only.  At Prestige Underwriting we are seeing a marked trend in an increase in Broker enquiries for non-standard home insurance with holiday home cover. 

If you or your client is a property owner with Holiday Homes available to rent, this could be a rather lucrative season for you! It is important therefore to ensure the appropriate insurance cover is in place otherwise this lucrative market opportunity could see policyholders exposed and vulnerable.

With a holiday home left empty for long periods of time throughout the year and the fact the owner may rent it out to guests, it is important that the property owner considers the level of cover needed to ensure they are sufficiently protected. Getting the right cover for a property that is unoccupied for shorter or longer periods is vital. Whether this is down to quieter rental periods or during planned maintenance, giving your customers peace of mind against the risks that are considered more prevalent when owning a holiday home such as burglary, malicious damage, storm & escape of water, is a priority.

With an appetite for UK Holiday Homes cover, the Prestige Underwriting Coverall product covers these risks, giving property owners peace of mind that your home-away-from-home is protected.
