Holiday Home Insurance
Holiday Home Insurance is a specialised policy designed to protect your second property from the unique risks associated with owning a holiday home. Whether you use the property yourself or rent it out to guests, this insurance covers a range of potential issues, including property damage, theft, liability, and loss of rental income. Becks Insurance Brokers in Brighton offer tailored Holiday Home Insurance solutions, ensuring that your investment is safeguarded, giving you peace of mind whether you’re at home or away.
Comprehensive Protection for Your Holiday Retreat
Owning a holiday home comes with different challenges compared to a primary residence. Whether it's a cottage in the countryside or a coastal retreat, your holiday home is often unoccupied for extended periods, making it more vulnerable to risks like burglary, vandalism, or weather damage. Holiday Home Insurance is specifically designed to cover these risks, providing comprehensive protection that ensures your property is well protected all year round.

Buildings and Contents Cover: Protects the structure of your holiday home and the contents inside against risks such as fire, flood, theft, and accidental damage.
Public Liability Insurance: Covers legal costs and compensation if a guest or third party is injured or their property is damaged while staying at or visiting your holiday home.
Unoccupied Property Cover: Provides protection during periods when your holiday home is unoccupied, covering risks that are heightened when the property is empty.
