Self Catering Insurance
Specialist coverage for holiday rental properties since 1986. Our Allianz-underwritten policies protect against accidental damage, theft, and loss of income, with flexible terms for UK properties including cottages, chalets, and coastal apartments. We offer tailored solutions for Airbnb hosts and commercial holiday lets, ensuring compliance with letting agent requirements while covering unoccupied periods.
Landlord Insurance
Comprehensive protection for residential landlords across Dorset and the UK. Policies include fire damage, tenant-related incidents, and loss of rental income. We provide multi-property coverage options and specialist advice on insuring between tenancies, with additional protections for water escape emergencies and criminal damage exclusions.
High Net Worth Insurance
Tailored coverage for premium properties and valuable assets. Our policies include all-risk protection for listed buildings, fine art collections, and high-value contents. Features include warranty-free cover, worldwide protection for luxury items, and dedicated account management for complex insurance needs of property owners with estates exceeding standard policy limits.
Community Radio Insurance
Specialist insurance designed specifically for UK community radio stations. Coverage includes equipment protection, defamation liability, and volunteer safety provisions. With low excesses and interest-free payment plans, our policies support stations in Dorset, Cornwall, and London, reflecting our director's deep industry expertise and participation in sector events.
Unoccupied Property Insurance
Protection for vacant properties during transitions or renovations. Policies cover vandalism, weather damage, and structural risks when standard home insurance lapses. We provide coverage for properties undergoing probate, long-term travel absences, or major refurbishments, with specific terms for security inspections and heating requirements.
