Holiday home cover, Specialist Home Insurance for your overseas property.

Anyone lucky enough to have a holiday home abroad, whether it’s a ski chalet, mountain retreat or a beach-side villa, will want to make sure it’s well looked after. 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.

 

What properties are covered by Specialist Home Insurance?

  • Your main home
  • Your holiday home, in the UK or overseas
  • Buy-to-let properties
  • Unoccupied properties

 

Why choose John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance to cover your holiday home abroad?

  • Accidental Damage Cover – your buildings and contents are covered, whether they’re part of your main home or your holiday home.
  • New for Old – Your contents are insured for the amount they would cost brand new. This covers possessions in your main home as well as those in any holiday home, abroad or within the UK.
  • Unusual Construction – Holiday homes abroad tend to come in all manner of different architectural styles and frequently incorporate flat roofs. John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance covers unusual structures.
  • Art and Antiques – If your holiday home is decorated with high-value items, such as paintings, sculptures and antique furniture, they’re covered for their full market value or for the cost of replacement.
  • Garden furniture and more – Holiday homes tend to be centred around enjoying outdoor space, especially if they’re located in sunnier climes. That’s why we cover outdoor items and features, including garden furniture, swimming pools, hot-tubs, hard tennis courts, ornamental ponds and fountains.
