When it comes to taking out second property insurance the first thing you have to remember is that it varies a great deal from the type of insurance that you will have taken out to cover your home. It will also depend on what you intend to do with the property you are buying. For example if you are going to turn the property into a holiday home let then you will need more extensive cover than had you bought the property for the intentions of it just being your own holiday home.
Second property insurance includes many different components, some of which you will already know about while others are more complex. The standards of any insurance policy should be included and the most obvious of these are of course the contents and buildings, however if you have such as a swimming pool then this will have to be taken into consideration and should be covered.
