Expat home insurance FAQ

Please note that these frequently asked questions are not a substitute for the policy wording. For full terms and conditions, please see the policy documentation.

How much does expat property insurance cost?

Your expat property insurance premium will depend on several factors, including:

  • The type of policy– premiums differ across expat home insurance, expat holiday home insurance, expat caravan insurance and expat landlord insurance
  • Location– for example, areas in close proximity to rivers, seas or other bodies of water, could result in higher premiums
  • The size of your property– larger properties tend to attract higher premiums
  • The contents within your property– storing high-value contents in your property can result in greater insurance costs

No, expat property insurance is not mandatory. However, if you want to ensure your home and contents are protected, it may be worth thinking about.

As a trading name of Arthur J Gallagher Nordic AB, Intasure can organise home insurance for UK nationals and EU passport holders that reside in the EEA.
