Holiday home insurance

    Am wondering whether anyone out there can recommend a company for holiday home insurance - for a house that will be let to holidaymakers most of the time and only occasionally occupied by family. Tried Liberty Insurance, but once I mentioned "flat roof" they didn't want to know - it is a very small house and the back half of the roof will be flat over a small extension, possibly 30% to 40% of the entire roof when finished. (what is it with flat roofs anyway?).:confused:

    Try Frost Insurance or an Insurance Broker

    Brokers are the way to go.

    I've had a holiday house insured through Glennon insurance for the last few years.

    I've since moved my car insurance to Aaron Insurances, and they organised cover for the holiday house as well this time.

    Can't advise on the flat roof though, insurers seem to really hate them!

    Finsure will do those. May as well just go direct to them. Other insurers stop at 30 percent flat roof

    Very useful -- thanks all.

    I'm buying a holiday home at the moment. How much are we talking per annum? (My permanent residence is 180 EUR, would the holiday home be more?)

    We paid 260 this year, it's always been 250+/-

    Lucky you with your 180 for your home :eek:

    Thanks for the feedback, Heidi.

    Hmm, perhaps there are different rates for primary residence vs. holiday home?
