Welcome to the Schofields blog – Insurance tips and advice for the successful running of your holiday home <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you own a holiday let or are in the process of buying your dream holiday home, the whole experience can be very rewarding. On the other hand, there are also potential pitfalls that can turn your dream into a nightmare.<\/p>\n

Due to holiday homes being left empty for long periods they are exposed to numerous hazards, from burglary to bursts, fire to floods, plus if you holiday let you are further at risk from damage by guests, or worst still – legal action flowing injuries.<\/p>\n

So, to protect yourself from such incidents you take out holiday home insurance. However, imagine suffering major loss or damage at your holiday home, making a claim and discovering that your insurance doesn\u2019t cover the incident \u2013 you are financially responsible. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately this does happen. Often when a policy has been bought based on price alone or when the insurance cover isn\u2019t fully understood. These types of policies are great until something goes wrong, then the restrictions and stringent terms are exposed. Ultimately, the policy bought provides less cover than actually required.<\/p>\n
