Important facts to know about vacant homes

Did you know that your Homeowners Insurance policy will severely restrict your coverage if your home is left vacant or unoccupied for more than 30 days, and in most cases will exclude all coverage if the home is vacant for more than 60 days?

In today’s real estate market, more and more investors are faced with owning vacant or unoccupied homes. It is more important than ever that you make sure that your investments are properly covered from further downside risk. Whether your home is on the market, between tenants, or undergoing a renovation, regular insurers do not like vacant properties...but we know and understand the unique needs of investors who require insurance on their vacant dwellings.

Unfortunately, vacant homes are at much greater risk of vandalism, fire, and water damage losses. For this reason, owners are faced with a double whammy…reduction in coverage, and higher premiums related to Vacant Dwelling insurance.
