Home insurance

[Burkey]

Does anybody know an insurance company that provides home insurance for longer than 30 days . I’m sure many of you travel abroad for longer periods so I thought there must be a company that provides adequate coverage.

Normally the allowance is 30 days unoccupied - see the policy for definition of unoccupied - varies from insurer to insurer but usually it involves being insufficiently furnished for normal habitation.
Failig that, get a family member to stay over on the 29th day......

I thought most cover you for 60 days.
We are with Sainsburys thats 60 days, M&S is 90 days.

I'm on the point of (maybe) renewing with Sky Protect and they allow 60 days with no mention AFAIK of having someone in to check:
"If you know your home is going to be unoccupied for
more than 60 days in a row, you must tell us beforehand,
otherwise your cover may be affected"

M&S for us 90 days

When I went to Benidorm in January I told my insurance company (Hastings) as I was only covered for 30 days.
No extra charge but I had to keep the heating on at 15°c and have someone go in every 7 days to check.
