Protect your holiday home with Specialist Home Insurance

Having a holiday home abroad to escape to can be a great investment. Whether it’s a beach house, a mountain-top chalet or a French gite you’ll want to make sure your home abroad is protected.

As well as providing comprehensive cover for your primary residence, John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance ensures that any holiday home you own, at home or abroad, enjoys the same level of protection.

Why choose Specialist Home Insurance to cover your holiday home?

  • Accidental Damage Cover protects all your buildings and contents, regardless of whether they’re part of your overseas holiday home or your main home.
  • Our New for Old policy insures your holiday home’s contents for the amount they would cost brand new.
  • Holiday homes abroad tend to incorporate different styles of architecture, so John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance covers unusual structures including flat roofs and timer frames.
  • Any high-value art and antiques kept in your holiday home will be automatically covered for their full market value or for the cost of replacement.
  • Outdoor items and features found in holiday homes abroad, including garden furniture, swimming pools, hot-tubs, hard tennis courts, ornamental ponds and fountains are all protected.

Did you know?

As well as covering your main home and your holiday home abroad, Specialist Home Insurance will also protect:

  • Holiday homes in the UK
  • Buy-to-let properties
  • Unoccupied properties
