of repairs or renovations or property in which the original owner is deceased and it has gone into estate to be sold at a later time.

If unoccupied property insurance becomes a necessity for you, there are means of reducing the premium costs.  If you have been with your insurance company for some time, you may qualify for a loyal customer discount.  It’s worth checking into.

It’s always a good idea, when dealing with insurance, to do a little shopping around.  For some reason people don’t think of doing this, but the chances are pretty good you can find some savings by getting some comparison quotes.

Another way to save some money is to install a security system on the property.  Believe it or not, there are some relatively inexpensive systems available and they could easily pay for themselves in a pretty short time with the savings they provide.  Be aware also that unoccupied property insurance is not even a possibility with some companies with a security system already present.  

Finally, you can also increase your policy’s deductible.  Just understand how this works.  An increased deductible means the amount you will pay each month is lower.  But it also means that if a claim is ever filed you will have the amount of your deductible before the insurance company kicks in any funds.
