Holiday Home Insurance

With the tourism industry estimated to be worth four billion pounds a year to the Westcountry economy, Cornish Mutual understands that there is a vast number of holiday home properties throughout the region, each with their own specific insurance requirements.

Holiday Home Insurance

Tailored Insurance for your holiday home

Our holiday home insurance is for properties that are let out for the majority of the year. It is not suitable for holiday homes that are unoccupied for long periods of time.

Our local Insurance Inspectors and office staff can work with you to ensure that you have the cover that is right for your holiday home insurance needs so you can choose which of the following sections of cover you require.

Buildings and Contents Insurance

We can cover your holiday home against a wide range of risks to your buildings including fire, storm, accidental damage, escape of oil and frost damage to your water or heating systems.

Our contents insurance can cover your furniture, audio and video equipment, loss of domestic oil and metered water - we even include items in the garden up to £750.

Loss of Rent Insurance

Having your holiday home unavailable to rent can have serious financial consequences, particularly during peak season. If your property becomes uninhabitable as a result of loss or damage insured under your holiday home insurance policy, we can cover you for the loss of rent you should have received. As well as the cost of alternative accommodation incurred by your visitors and even their pets.

Employers Liability

Employers Liability insurance is a compulsory insurance for most employers and will enable you to meet the cost of compensation should an employee be injured at work or become ill, as a result of their work, while in your employment. In relation to your holiday home these employees could include casual or sub-contracted labour like cleaners and gardeners.

Our standard cover of £10 million will protect you against the cost of compensation or damages plus any legal fees you may incur.

Public Liability Insurance

We automatically include Public Liability cover with our holiday home insurance which covers legal liability arising in connection with your holiday property for injury to any person who is not an employee or damage to their property up to a sum of £2 million plus costs and expenses.

Our existing Members value our honesty and openness. If you deal with us you can be assured that, as a Mutual Insurer, your premium will work hard for your benefit and not be passed to shareholders.
