Home owners who enter residential care should be aware of the insurance implications of leaving their house unoccupied.
When your property is left empty it can affect your home insurance policy, leaving you with severely restricted cover or in some cases, a policy which is void, leaving you exposed to potential disaster.
Bickers Insurance Services have produced factsheets describing the potential pitfalls many may encounter when making the decision to move into residential care for either a short period or for the longer term. We hope that these fact sheets will assist those in residential care and their families, by highlighting the insurance issues they face when leaving their principal home empty and suggesting solutions, both with specialist unoccupied property insurance quotes and by negotiating with the existing home insurance provider.
