| Would
you be brave enough to leave your home
in the UK uninsured? So why do many of
us buying a home abroad immediately
assume that the rules are different
because the sun is shining - risks
still exist. Regardless of whether
your property is occupied, unoccupied
or let - short or long term - you need
comprehensive property insurance and
cover against potential liabilities.
UK
based insurance company Intasure
offers policies that are designed
specifically to meet the needs of the
overseas property market. Flexibility
is central to Intasure's cover,
comprehensive buildings and contents
insurance allows you to live in, leave
your property unoccupied or let it -
short or long term. The policy also
covers loss of rent and emergency
travel and accommodation in the event
of a major claim. For additional peace
of mind these policies are
underwritten by one of the world's
leading insurers, Norwich Union.

language barriers.
Understanding
exactly what a policy includes, even
in English, can be a feat in itself.
Add to this the complication of an
unfamiliar language and the stress
associated with making a claim and the
whole process could be doubly hard.
Intasure's documentation is entirely
in English and all claims and
enquiries are reported to and resolved
by a UK-based English speaking support
team.
Community
Insurance can be misleading
Local
Community Insurance cover can be
deceptive. It is designed to protect
communal areas such as boundary walls,
entrances and staircases (in the case
of apartments), but not as
comprehensive cover for your specific
property. It is invariably written in
the language of origin, which makes it
hard to fully understand what the
cover includes. Owners can mistakenly
believe that Community Insurance
covers their home, discovering too
late that it does not.
Essential
Liability cover
Intasure's
comprehensive cover is also ideal for
anyone who lets their property,
particularly with the current trend
toward litigation. Intasure's policy
automatically includes £2,000,000
Public Liability cover, far in excess
of many other European policies (in
Spain for example, typically 30,000€
Approx. £20,000). Cover is available
for homes in Spain, France, Portugal,
Italy, Greece, Cyprus and the Republic
of Ireland. For a quick quote or to
