SEASONAL HOME COVERAGE
Seasonal homes vary from a cottage or rustic cabin to investment property in a resort. Whether in your family for years, or newly purchased, we can protect it.
Why utilize “specialty” coverage?
Owners of a higher-end second home typically want to insure it with a policy similar to what they have on their full-time residence, which includes a comprehensive list of causes of loss and replacement cost settlement. Your agent may refer to this kind of coverage as “special form” or “DP-3.”
But many vacation homes are older. Some may well lack insulation, a furnace or central air, possibly even electricity. Even the porch may sag a little. Homes that are well-loved, but not in pristine condition, likely do not qualify for comprehensive coverage. Instead, they need something more basic. Your agent may refer to this kind of coverage as “basic form,” “DP-1” or simply “fire insurance.”
Accent Insurance offers programs for both types of coverage.
Choose from comprehensive coverage...
-
Homes up to 80 years of age (60 years in some states)
-
Roof updated within the past 20 years
-
Above average or better condition
-
Up to a four-family structure
Coverage provided – Any cause of loss is allowed except those specifically excluded in the policy documents. Losses are settled at the replacement cost, up to the policy limit. There is no depreciation deduction.
Or flexible coverage...
-
No age limit on the structure
-
Fair or better condition
-
Up to a four-family structure
Coverage provided – The policy covers just those causes of loss listed by name in the policy documents (fire, lightning, wind, hail, explosion, and others). It covers the most common risks, but not everything. Losses are settled for the actual cash value (ACV), which takes depreciation into account. In many states we offer an upgrade to full repair cost coverage.
