Homeowners Insurance for a Second Home

Vacant Home InsuranceWhether you use it regularly or seasonally, having a homeowners insurance policy for your second home is just as important as your primary home policy.
 
The protection you get with a homeowners insurance policy for your second home is essential. Standard seguro de viviendas policies for second homes can help protect from damages caused by a variety of events, such as fire, lightning and wind. At The Hartford, we’re here to help if your second home is damaged by a covered event, offering homeowners insurance that can help with the rebuilding costs.
 
The homeowners insurance for your second home also gives you personal liability coverage. This helps cover the cost of a lawsuit if someone who doesn’t live in your home is injured on your property and you’re found responsible.
 

Factors That Affect Secondary Home Insurance

Vacation Home InsuranceA secondary homeowners insurance policy is essential, but it’s important to know you may also need additional coverages depending on a few factors. Your second home most likely isn’t used the same as your primary home. It may be vulnerable to different risks, which can affect your secondary homeowners insurance.
 
Some factors that can affect your secondary homeowners insurance policy include:
 
  • Replacement Cost: Just like with your primary home policy, if your second home costs more to replace, it will affect your secondary homeowners insurance.
  • Vacancies: If your second home is empty for an extended period, it can be more vulnerable to damage.
  • Location: Your insurance rate may be higher if your second home is far from emergency services.
  • Rentals: If you’re going to offer your second home as a rental, you’ll most likely need additional coverage, like landlord insurance.

Increasing Protection for Your Second Home Insurance Policy

Second homeowners insurance policies can come with limited coverage. Adding coverages to your policy can increase your protection. If you’re looking to keep your second home well protected, consider adding:
 
  • Cobertura de propiedad personal: This helps protect your belongings, such as furniture, clothing and appliances. It is standard on a homeowners insurance policy, but you can customize it to make sure all of your belongings are protected.
  • Póliza de cobertura total personal: With a second home, your homeowners insurance policy limits may not be enough to protect you from a costly covered loss. This coverage can help if the damage to your second home is higher than the limits of your basic home coverage.
  • Responsabilidad Personal: If you’re found responsible for an injury to someone on your property who doesn’t live in either of your homes, this can help cover medical or court costs.
  • Seguro contra inundaciones: Regular homeowners insurance policies won’t protect your home from floods. And if your second home is near a body of water, it could have a higher risk of flood or water damage.
  • Full Replacement Cost: This additional coverage helps by paying the full cost to rebuild your home if it is a total loss up to 125% of your coverage limits. You may be able to receive up to 150%, depending on where you live.

  • If you're near stores, restaurants and entertainment
  • The status of your area's housing market
