Creative Real Estate Investing

Perhaps it’s something to do with all the money troubles, not to mention weather troubles, here in the UK. But more of us are looking into investing in a new second home that they can rent out and can use for cheaper holidays. Others still have chosen to leave the UK altogether and find that piece of heaven they have been looking for by moving abroad.

Whatever the reason and whatever age group you may be, you can escape the cold winds of recession and the weather by following this route, but you still need to look at protecting your investment, whether at home or abroad. Finding a company that will give cost effective cover for second home insurance and overseas property insurance isn’t as easy and can often be more costly than you might imagine.

Deciding on a company to insure your new home can be a tricky job, not to mention expensive. This is because insurance companies know that second homes are generally left unoccupied for lengthy periods of time, because of this, the home can face weather damage like burst pipes. Although it’s possible to work your way around these obstacles, you can still be knocked back by the concern of damage caused by or to the current guests.

If you do obtain cover you will probably find that most holiday home or buy to let insurance policies have restrictions in the small print. Unless you comply absolutely to the letter with security and occupancy requirements, you may be shocked to find your insurance is invalid when you make a claim. There are some insurance providers who know that most holiday home and second home owners only use their property from time to time.  

For this reason, there are some policies that don’t have hidden restrictions in the small sprint. If you choose to let out your new second property, with those same policies, you can get some extra advantages such as £5m public liability insurance and contents protection.
