Since 2004, following feedback from solicitors,
UPI has provided an exclusive facility to offer unoccupied property insurance and are pleased to announce as part of the continued development of this facility we have a new underwriter in Hiscox Syndicate 33 at Lloyd’s, a member of the Association of British Insurers, authorised by the Financial Services Authority, and approved by The Department of Trade and Industry.
Hiscox UK hold an A M Best & Company Rating of A+ (Excellent) – and a Standard & Poor’s rating of A+ (Strong).
The policy is tailored especially for solicitors and caters for unoccupied properties requiring a quick and simple insurance solution. Many home insurance policies do not provide cover for properties, which become unoccupied a
nd if they do, the maximum period would be only 30 days. UPI’s scheme covers the unoccupied building for a minimum period of 6 months at a non-refundable fixed rate of 0.15% (Grade II listed buildings 0.2%). We are confident that these are extremely competitive terms compared with the very limited number of insurance companies now offering such a policy.
We are now able to offer a fixed sum insured of £15,000 in respect of contents at a premium of £157.50 (including 5% IPT).

Confirmation of cover will be sent to you within five working days. There is a freephone helpline service should you require further assistance - 0800 587 4749.
