Holiday
home insurance policies abroad can be full of catches - Take
care
Claiming
on a holiday home insurance abroad can be very complicated.
Dealing with complex insurance policies on overseas homes
is something more and more people are having to come to terms
with.
There
are now more than 1 million properties owned by the British.
What
can you do? First of all read and check the small print in
the policy. If it is in a language that you do not understand
have it translated.
Establish
whether your cover does exactly what it is so that the insurer
cannot reject a claim at a later stage.
Make sure that your property is compliant for a country's
particular legislation. In France now a swimming pool has
to be properly gated and if your pool does not comply with
the law, it could invalidate the entire policy.
Make sure that your buildings
insurance covers the gardens and outbuildings, not just the
house.
Let the insurance company know that you are letting the property
out and when you let it out to holiday makers, make sure that
the visitors have taken out their own travel insurance.
In some cases you might not
be covered for subsidence and earthquakes and the Public Liability
level is often lower such as in Portugal.
Rather like in Britain you might have conditions, that if
you are away from the property for more than a month you might
need someone to check it over regularly, drain down plumbing
and leave heating on.
If you have a mortgage, the
lender might be able to provide advice or as you might well
have a bank account with a bank in the country the property
is situated in, contact them.
A lot of British based insurance
companies are now covering overseas properties and many of
these can be found via
the web. There are now also many multinational insurance
companies operating, names that are familiar in Britain are
becoming just as familiar in France and Spain. Shop around
and take care. For more information Click
