Intasure’s holiday home insurance can help provide protection for Spainish holiday properties, so you and your holiday home are covered.

What Does Spanish Holiday Home Insurance Cover?
Those with a home insurance policy will already be familiar with our basic cover. Buildings and contents protection can both be included with our Spanish holiday home insurance. It helps to protect your property from damage and your home’s contents from theft, loss, or damage.
Buildings and contents cover
Our buildings and contents cover extends to outbuildings and swimming pools, common in many parts of Spain.
The cover can offer protection against:
-
Damage to buildings or contents due to natural disasters:
This can cover damage caused by events such as flooding, fires, earthquakes, storms, or other natural occurrences. It can provide financial protection for both structural damage to the property and destruction of personal belongings, ensuring repairs and replacements are covered after such disasters.
-
Escape of water or oil from household appliances:
Should household appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, or heating systems leak or malfunction, resulting in water or oil damage, this can help manage repair costs.
-
Theft of household contents:
This cover can protect against the loss of personal items inside your holiday home, including furniture, electronics, and other valuables, in the event of theft.
-
Accidental damage to household goods, carpets, and sanitary fixtures:
Accidental damage to items such as furniture, carpets, and fixtures (including sinks or toilets) can be covered under this policy. If an item is damaged by an unexpected incident like a spill, drop, or other mishap, this insurance helps to ensure that repairs or replacements are taken care of.
-
Loss or damage caused by electrical power surges:
This cover can help if damage is caused to electrical devices and systems within your holiday home caused by sudden power surges. Electrical surges, often caused by lightning strikes or issues with the local grid, can lead to severe damage to electronics, appliances, or even the home’s wiring. This cover can provide financial protection to repair or replace affected items.
Public liability cover
Public liability cover can protect you against the financial risks of letting your holiday home to paying guests. It can offer protection if a guest suffers bodily injury while 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 costs 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 insurance can help to cover the lost income.
Alternative accommodation cover
Damage to your property may mean it’s no longer inhabitable. Alternative accommodation insurance can cover hotel fees if you need to relocate while repairs are undertaken.
Loss of rent cover
Following an insured incident, we offer cover for loss of rent if you can’t let out your property due to damage.
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, a small issue like a leaky tap when you’re not there that turns into an escape of water can still be covered even when you’re not staying at the property for up to 60 days.
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.

-

Is it more expensive to insure a Spanish holiday home?
Yes, insuring a holiday home in Spain can be more expensive than a property in the UK. This is mainly due to additional risks such as different climate conditions, like storms or flooding, and the fact that the property may be left unoccupied for longer periods. Insuring an overseas property often requires specialised cover to address these unique challenges, which can increase the premium.
