What Is Unoccupied Property Insurance?

 Standard home insurance typically doesn’t provide full cover if your property is left vacant for more than 30 days. That’s where unoccupied property insurance steps in. It’s specially designed for homes or commercial buildings that are temporarily empty.

This policy keeps your property protected against common risks like fire, flood, vandalism, and squatters—so you’re not left exposed.

Whether you're renovating, between tenants, or awaiting probate, we’ll make sure your property stays protected.

What Our Clients Say

“I didn’t know standard insurance wouldn’t cover an empty house—thankfully Crowthorne did.” They helped me sort cover fast while I sorted probate, without any hidden fees. Easy, clear, and exactly what I needed.
Client
“Crowthorne Insurance were very useful for when I needed 28 day chassis insurance on my unregistered classic Japanese import car in order to drive it to and from an MOT for its registration. Quick replies and no fuss. The price was high considering it was only for 28 days but I guess not unusual for that kind of specialist insurance. Would use again in the future!”
Beth L
“Contact with the Cowthorne team is a pleasurable experience - they are always helpful, efficient and will search the market for the best policy.”
Peter Foister
“Went there for my Car insurance. Got a great deal better than on line and other shops. Boss was a very nice chap and the man that served me Neil ,was very helpful.and sorted me out a great deal. Yes i can recommend this company. Hope i can say the same next year when i get the renew price. If they play there cards right they may get my house and other car and holiday insurance. Thanks Crowthorne insurance.”
Ray Thorpe
“I used Crowthorne Insurance recently as a new driver, and they really helped me out. They are always friendly and polite, never kept me waiting long over the phone or e-mail, and were always happy to answer any questions I had.I had a particularly good experience talking to Jack, who went above and beyond to get me a policy which wasn't prohibitively expensive at a time when the insurance market is particularly harsh to new drivers. It would not be an exaggeration to say that thanks to his efforts, I've saved thousands of pounds.I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again when it's time to renew. Thanks guys!”
