Unoccupied property insurance is a separate policy that covers you when you leave your home for longer than 30 days. Your normal cover will usually only ensure you are covered for between 30-60 days, so it is vital to ensure that you are fully protected.

The length of time that a property can be vacant before it is considered unoccupied for insurance purposes varies depending on the insurance company.
