Insure Your Log Cabin
Log cabins can come with more risks than standard homes. If you have a problem, such as damage from a fire or a flood, you could be left with a worrying bill without suitable insurance. Intasure’s specialist log cabin insurance can help provide financial protection and peace of mind.
Do I need log cabin insurance?
While not a legal requirement, it can be a good idea to consider insurance for your log cabin. This is mainly because log cabins have added risks compared to standard homes. For example, their wooden builds make them more prone to highly damaging risks, such as fire, wear and tear, and pest infestations. Their typically remote locations also increase the risk of weather damage.
Our specialist log cabin insurance can help protect you against various risks, from minor damage to natural disasters. Whether your cabin is a holiday retreat, rental property, or dream home, we can help protect your investment should something happen.

FAQs
Please note that these frequently asked questions are not a substitute for the policy wording. For full terms and conditions please see the policy documentation.
-
Are timber-framed houses expensive to insure?
They can be. This is because timber is considered a higher-risk material, particularly with fire and weather damage. Other factors, such as the value of your house and the history of the land (e.g., past subsidence issues), can also influence your insurance premium.
-
Is it harder to get a mortgage on a log cabin?
Getting a mortgage for a log cabin can be more difficult than a standard home. Lenders often view log cabins as higher risk due to:
- Maintenance requirements: Log cabins need regular upkeep to prevent rot, pest infestations, or weather-related damage. Some lenders may worry about long-term durability.
- Remote locations: Many log cabins are in rural areas, making them harder to access or accurately value. This increases uncertainty for lenders.
- Construction materials: Timber construction is more susceptible to fire, storms, and general wear and tear, making it less appealing to some mortgage providers.
