Features of Coach House Insurance

Standard cover

Specialist coach house cover

Our coach house cover is designed for the specific risks of your property, such as neighbours who have a garage under your flat which is not under your control.

All Purpose Cover

Whether your coach house is your main home, holiday home, let out to tenants or used as an Airbnb or similar, we can provide buildings and contents cover through our coach house insurance.

Home Contents Cover

This policy provides content cover up to £100,000. You must lock all of your doors and windows when you leave the home for this cover to remain valid.

Alternative Accommodation Cover

If your home becomes uninhabitable, you’ll have cover in place towards the cost of staying somewhere else.

Additional cover

Home Emergency

Choose to add home emergency assistance and you’ll benefit from a 24-hour helpline for sudden, unexpected events. A team will then assist you in making your home safe and secure once more and restore electricity, gas or your water supply if required. There is no excess to pay for this service and it will not affect your no claims bonus.

Question

What if I've had previous claims?

Answer

We specialise in providing cover where other insurance providers may not. If you've had previous claims, we will still consider your case whether or not you've been rejected by other insurers. This is also handled by our Colchester team and details can be found on our contact page. In all cases, the more information you are able to provide regarding your previous claims, the better.

Question

Can you insure my home if it’s a flood risk?

Answer

Homes which are at risk of flood are often a little trickier to insure. We have policies which will cater for flood in some of the harder to cover areas and can often refer cases to our insurers to try and find you a policy. You can read more on insurance, provided by our team in Colchester, for flood risk areas here.

Question

I run my business from my home, will this policy cover me?

Answer

Running a business from your home often means you have slightly different need to a standard home. See our home business insurance webpage for more details.

Question

What is property owner’s liability?

Answer

Property owners liability is related to one’s legal responsibility to properly maintain property they own so it is not a danger to others. If a form of negligence connected to the property causes a third party to be injured or their property to be damaged, they may seek compensation from the property owner. Subsequently, it’s important to have insurance in place to cover this, most home insurance policies including our own, include this as standard.
