Expat Home Insurance
Ensuring that your home and contents are comprehensively covered is an essential part of expat life. Find out how not to leave anything to chance.

Home and contents insurance for an overseas move is very different from your typical domestic homeowners or renters home insurance policy.
It is important that as an expat you invest in a home insurance policy specifically designed to cover the unique aspects of your expat situation.
It is not recommended that expats rely on the insurance policy provided by shippers and packers which are provided when you move overseas. Such home insurance policies may be inadequate, expensive or simply unavailable. Also, in the event of a loss, it may be difficult to determine which party is fully responsible, resulting in potential denial of your claim.
When setting up your expat home insurance it is also advisable to complete a full inventory of effects, both transported abroad and left in UK commercial storage. This allows you to comprehensively file claims with an insurance company in the event of a loss.

What expats say about our experts
The consultant was exceptional, very comprehensive and clear.
Richard B.
Pensions introduction in Canada
I'm very wary of website operations (particularly when it comes to government liaisons). But after a check-up on 'Experts for Expats' I decided to take the plunge. Since then I've been very pleased with the professional connection I was offered and the straight forward way it was presented.
Although I've not a lot of experience with this specialized type of service, I can say that if there's a better one on offer they had better be pretty f*cking good.

Great Service! I was worried that I would be opening myself up to endless marketing emails and calls. This was not the case at all. A thoroughly professional service.

US/UK dual tax matters introduction in United States
As an expat who has been living outside the UK for 30 years, it was reassuring to speak to a representative of your company who seemed to have his clients interest at heart, especially when the client has no expertise in finances and investment.
