As your holiday home is not your primary residence it’s likely that you’ll be leaving it unoccupied which can mean it is at higher risk of theft or damage.
Standard home insurance may not be suitable as policies tend not to cover homes which are left unoccupied for 30 consecutive days or more.
Even some specialist policies might require you or your representative to poke a head around the door once a week to check everything is OK.
