Have you thought about how you will
protect your second home? If you only use your property in Bulgaria as a holiday home for part of the year, you
will be leaving it vacant for several weeks or months at a time. When you leave
a home empty in this way, it becomes more at risk for burglary and vandalism.
Also, when you are away from your holiday home for a long time and something
goes wrong such as flooding, there can be quite a lot of damage to the property
before you realize what has happened.
You have worked hard to purchase your property in Bulgaria, and you would not
want to see your dream holiday home and all of your efforts go to waste because
you haven’t protected your home from peril.
Home
Inspections
Before you buy the property in Bulgaria, make sure that you get a proper home
inspection so that you can deal with any important repair issues upfront. You
will also get a sense of any potential problems that the home might have so
that you can do some preventative work on the house before these problems
arise.
Alarm
System
You won’t be spending all of your time at
your property in Bulgaria, which
makes it all the more important that the home is equipped with a proper alarm
system. There are some alarm systems on the market which are specifically
designed with second homes in mind. They allow you to access your security
system remotely from the web or from your mobile phone. This means that you can
adjust the alarm, the lighting, thermostat and more from your computer back at
your primary residence without ever having to travel to your property in Bulgaria. If you rent out
the home, these systems allow you to set up temporary access codes for guests
and arm your property remotely if they forget to do so when they leave.
Holiday
Home Insurance
It is a good idea to take out insurance
on your property in Bulgaria. Many
insurance companies will have a specific policy which covers second homes.
Depending on the insurance policy, it might have limitations because a house
that is left alone for long periods of time is at a higher risk. There will
often be a defined list of causes that are covered for loss, such as storm,
fire, lightning, and more, but there also might be conditions applying for when
the property is unoccupied.
However, some policies are much more
relaxed when it comes to how long your property
in Bulgaria is unoccupied, and there are a few choices that allow you to
visit the property only once every two months and still receive full cover.
Another thing to consider is that if you
are renting out your property in
Bulgaria as a holiday rental, you will need to protect yourself with Public
Liability cover. This will protect you if someone hurts themselves while
staying at the property.
Protecting your property in Bulgaria is very important, and these are just a few
ways that you can give yourself peace of mind.
