Turkish Property Insurance

Turkish Property Insurance is one of the most important things to remember when buying a property in Turkey, or any property abroad. It is equally important for you, the homeowner to have a policy in your own language from an international building and contents insurance specialist with a proven track record.

You may be advised when buying the property to take out immediate Turkish property insurance from a local company, but you should bear in mind that these insurance policies may well provide a much lower level of cover than from a U.K company that deals specifically with overseas property insurance.

They may also put holiday homes in a higher risk category as they are often left unoccupied for long periods of time or are used for holiday rental purposes. If your Turkish property is used for rental purposes, it is well worth while declaring this or you could find that your insurance company's clauses give it the right to refuse to pay out on any claim you make. There are specialist Turkish property insurance policies for property that will be rented out.

It is also vital that you have the relevant foreign property insurance in place by the time you exchange contracts on your property and may well be a requirement of the purchase. 

As the owner of a Turkish property, whether looking for holiday home insurance or cover for a permanent residence, it is essential that you fully understand the extent and limitations of your insurance policy. Do you have the cover for legal liability for domestic employees, cleaners, or management staff? What restrictions are in place if you are letting or if the property is unoccupied etc? If your Turkish property insurance policy has been placed through an insurance company abroad it is more likely that you simply do not know.
