UK house Insurance

[IbrahimAbi]

The ınsurance company that we have been usinf for several of our buy to let houses have a 'UK resident' clause. As we live full time in Turkey this may be an issue. they have paid out previously but I am getting nervous. Does anyone living overseas have a UK house insurance (buildings, not contents) which does not have a 'UK resident' clause? Currently I am using the agents CIA

Is the house occupied, rented, or left empty?

You mention several and houses, so it is a business. Surely you need relevent insurance for a business.

Houses are rented, the insurance company have the details eg. Rented by working couple etc.

I am not living overseas or in this position but if you are over 50 might be worth trying SAGA, I had problems insuring my previous house due to it being empty while it was up for sale, found SAGA very helpful.

Thanks for your help chaps. In the end I called the broker when 2 of our policies were up for renewal, after consulting the manager I was told that it was OK for us to live in Turkey and the insurance that we had was valid. My advice on this one is to ensure that your status as living overseas is registered on their system.
