What is Loss of Income Insurance?
If your holiday home becomes uninhabitable as the result of something outside your control such as flood or fire it can have serious financial consequences. With the seasonal trends of tourism these consequences can be exacerbated even further should the event happen in the peak or even shoulder months.
At Boshers we want to support you in getting back to your feet as quickly as possible. As specialists we understand the price you’ll have to pay should you lose trade during the upcoming months and for this reason we include Loss of Income insurance as standard with our Holiday Home Insurance Policy.
This insurance covers you for the potential loss of income you may suffer as a result of disruption or interruption caused by an insured event.
This means that should you lose trade then you’ll not have to pay the price of the loss of trade you suffer through cancellations and periods of not being able to accept bookings.
We also understand that repairs and maintenance after such an event won’t be immediate; that’s why our indemnity period extends to two years.
