Vacant Property

Vacant property insurance coverage is a specialized type of insurance designed to protect unoccupied buildings from various risks. This coverage is crucial because standard homeowners or commercial property policies often reduce or eliminate coverage for properties that remain vacant beyond a specified period, typically 30 to 60 days. Vacant property insurance fills this gap by providing protection against perils such as fire, vandalism, theft, and weather-related damage for empty residential or commercial buildings. It’s particularly important for property owners who are between tenants, renovating a property, or trying to sell a building, as these situations can leave a property unoccupied for extended periods. The coverage and cost of vacant property insurance can vary based on factors like the property’s location, condition, and the duration of vacancy.
