Impact on insurance: holiday home to principal residence

[Stella]

Incidentally, to all and anyone who is reading this thread… as I’ve already pointed out…

@Stella

One important difference re Insurance… which I have already posted on another thread.

The first time I was involved in a house-fire (totally destroyed)… it was for a Principal Residence and the Insurance paid firstly for rental of a gite for immediate occupation … and then for a mobile home put on-site for the folk to live in while their house was being rebuilt.

I can’t see that happening for a maison secondaire…

I’m just advising folk to make sure they’ve updated their information… as and when necessary.

One possible reason why Insurance costs more for Residence Principale …
So, check the small print and make sure you know what your Policy covers.
