How it works
While many standard home insurance policies won’t cover a vacant property, unoccupied home insurance is designed for just that. Whether you’re in the process of renovating, are in-between tenants or looking to sell, Wesleyan Financial Services can find cover to suit all kinds of scenarios and properties.
As a broker, we can advise you on a level of protection that’s right for you. Once we have a clear idea of your needs, we’ll find you a bespoke policy from our panel of leading insurers.

What’s not covered?
Unfortunately, insurance can’t cover you for everything. Your claim may be rejected for:
- Unforced entry - If you leave your doors and windows unlocked or open, you’re providing thieves and squatters with easy access to your home. Insurance can only cover you for forced entry.
- Contractors - If you’ve hired contractors to work on your home while it’s unoccupied, you might not be covered for any damage they cause. Generally, contractors should have their own insurance that will cover the damage.
