Holiday Home Insurance

Specialist insurance for UK holiday properties offering comprehensive protection against damage, theft, and liability claims. Our policies cater to seasonal occupancy patterns and include unique features like dog-friendly provisions and hot tub coverage. With 35 years' experience, we provide tailored solutions that address the specific risks associated with holiday lets, ensuring property owners maintain financial protection while meeting legal obligations.

Listed Property Insurance

Tailored insurance for Grade I/II listed buildings in England and Wales, and Grade A/B listed properties in Scotland. Our specialist policies preserve historical integrity while providing modern protection against structural damage, accidental loss, and conservation-specific risks. We understand the additional challenges of maintaining listed holiday homes, offering expert guidance on compliance requirements and specialist repair considerations.

Cottage Complex Insurance

Comprehensive insurance solutions for holiday cottage complexes with multiple units. Our policies address shared facilities, communal areas, and coordinated risk management across multiple properties. We specialise in complex requirements including commercial liability coverage, coordinated claims management, and tailored premium structures that reflect the unique operational demands of multi-unit holiday developments.

Let Property Insurance

Specialist insurance for residential and commercial let properties covering buildings, contents, and liability risks. Our policies protect against tenant-related damages, rental income loss, and legal expenses while accommodating various tenancy types. We provide coverage solutions for both single-property landlords and portfolio owners, with flexible terms that adapt to different occupancy scenarios.

Home Insurance

Comprehensive home insurance policies for primary residences and second homes, offering buildings and contents protection with optional add-ons. We partner with Ecclesiastical, a leading UK insurer, to provide policies that balance competitive pricing with extensive coverage including emergency assistance, legal protection, and personal liability extensions for property owners' specific needs.

I have used Boshers to insure my business for a number of years as they understand my market and are competitively priced. During the last three storms my property suffered some damage and the claim was settled with minimum fuss and very quickly (at a time when they were obviously very busy) Very pleased with the service and all the staff I spoke to. I would recommend this company.

Boshers arranged some cover for my holiday homes. We had a few extra play facilities for our cottages that other insurance companies would not cover. After having a brief conversation with Neil from Boshers (who was fantastically helpful) they arranged me some cover very quickly and at a very reasonable price. It was an easy process and I cant imagine well ever look elsewhere again.

Contacted Boshers speculatively regarding a query on EPC regulations for holiday Homes having exhausted conversations with various surveyors who who didn't seem to have a grasp on the rules at all. Boshers were extremely helpful and provided clear and concise guidance answering my query fully. Very impressed and would recommend them.
