Greetings!
It's a beautiful day here in sunny Devon although very cold. The forecasters say we're in for freezing weather across much of the UK for the next few days so please excuse me for getting on my `avoid frozen pipes' soapbox.
In the twelve months to November 2011 35% of our holiday home insurance claims by number were as a result of escape of water. These claims accounted for a staggering 71% of the overall claims payments by value.
Click the link below for guidance on avoiding burst pipes and a reminder of Boshers holiday home insurance policy conditions that must be adhered to in order to ensure your cover is valid.
 By taking precautions and avoiding burst pipes you'll have less stress and they'll be less pressure on premiums for all holiday home owners.
Please note that we do appreciate many of you live some distance from your holiday home and therefore having an arrangement with a neighbour, housekeeper or property management company to inspect your holiday home at least every 14 days is as acceptable to us as you doing it yourself.
As one of the UK's few specialist holiday home insurance brokers the continued success of the furnished holiday letting industry is very important to us.

Thanks for reading.
