Protect your second property in Portugal with holiday home insurance
Portugal is one of the oldest nation-states in Europe. It’s bursting with culture and beauty, making it an excellent base for a holiday home. But if you are concerned about your finances being protected, it’s worth considering our holiday home insurance. We also offer a holiday let insurance policy for people who rent their property out to paying guests.
If you currently own a property in Portugal or are interested in buying one, you may be thinking about your options for financial protection. Here at Intasure we can help you find suitable cover.
What is Portugal holiday home insurance?
What would you do if you’re away from your property, and storms cause structural damage to the building? Or there’s an issue with a water system that leads to escape of water inside your home? Whatever the disaster may be, Portugal holiday home insurance can help protect your finances when the worst happens.
Our team can help to create you a bespoke policy tailored to your property’s needs. Intasure’s holiday home insurance offers financial support against a range of risks.
What does holiday home insurance in Portugal cover?
Holiday home insurance can provide cover for several risks posed to property owners abroad, ranging from building damage to theft. We can combine buildings and contents cover into a single policy.
These are brief product descriptions only. Please refer to the policy documentation paying particular attention to the terms and conditions, exclusions, warranties, subjectivities, excesses and any endorsements.
Buildings and contents cover
Our buildings and contents cover extends to outbuildings and swimming pools, common in many warmer parts of Portugal.
The cover offers protection against:
Public liability cover
Public liability cover can protect you against the financial risks of letting your holiday home to paying guests. In such scenarios, this cover offers protection in cases such as a guest suffering bodily injury whilst staying in your property, or if damage is caused to a third party property.
We offer £5 million cover as standard for insured public liability claims.
Emergency travel cover
Minor problems can quickly snowball into serious issues when you’re away from your property. That could be a leaking pipe leading to water damage, or storm damage rendering your home uninhabitable. If a disaster arises, our emergency travel insurance can help to reimburse you for any travel costs when you need to get to your holiday home in a hurry.
Loss of rent cover
If you have a confirmed rental booking that can’t go ahead due to house damage, loss of rent cover can help to cover the lost income.
Alternative accommodation cover
Damage to your property may mean it’s no longer inhabitable. Alternative accommodation cover can cover hotel fees if you need to relocate while repairs are undertaken.
Unoccupancy cover
Unoccupancy cover can help to relieve worries about your property when you’re out of the country. Subject to policy terms and conditions, we can cover your property year-round if you visit weekly, monthly, or just for a couple of weeks a year. For example, small issue like a leaky tap when you’re not there turning into escape of water can still be covered even when you’re not staying at the property.
What type of Portuguese properties can be covered?
Whether it’s a luxury villa by the sea, a cosy apartment in Porto, or a rustic holiday home in the Portuguese hinterland, Intasure aims to help.
We insure the following property types in Portugal:
- Houses and bungalows
- Flats and apartments
- Villas with swimming pools or hot tubs
