If you’re lucky enough to have one, a second home in the city, or a holiday home by the sea can be great investments. However, to have complete peace of mind, you need to make sure your second home is protected.
John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance covers the policy holder’s second home to the same level as their main home.
- Whether an accident takes place in your second home or main home, our Accidental Damage Cover means your buildings and contents will be protected.
- Our New for Old policy means that the contents of you main home and second home are covered for the amount they would cost if they were brand new.
- If your second home is graded, listed or has an unusual structure, such as a thatched roof or wooden frame, our Specialist Home Insurance should be able to cover it.
- Should your second home contain any art or antiques we’ll automatically cover them for their full market value or for the cost of replacement.
As well as covering your
main home and your second home, John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance can also protect:
- Holiday homes abroad
