Most UK insurers will only cover for 60 days at the most. Topsail have advertised a product but it is limited to a maximum of 180 days unoccupied.<br/><br/>Does anyone have any suggestions, or any experience? How do long term cruisers deal with this issue?<br/>Fri, 26 Apr 2019 18:59:26 GMTalshaheenhttps://occforum.azurewebsites.net/FindPost5044.aspx<blockquote data-id="5007" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1556304971916" id="if_insertedNode_1556304971195" contenteditable="false"><a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="5007" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">+</span></a><a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="5007" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">x</span></a><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[quote]</span><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"><a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="5007" title=" ">&nbsp;</a></div><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[b]</span>John Franklin - 4/17/2019<span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[/b]</span></div><div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-5007"><div class="if-quote-message-margin" contenteditable="true">I am trying to arrange insurance cover for a UK home when it is unoccupied for a lengthy period.

This suits our current needs and the price and terms are reasonable.Fri, 26 Apr 2019 18:59:26 GMTalshaheen
