Home Insurance, unusual situation

Can anyone recommend a good but not too expensive insurance company that will insure my home in the UK for buildings cover whilst I am abroad and also has my son living in it with two lodgers (he will pay the contents cover)?

I went with Lloyds TSB (my bank) last year and the premiums were reasonable but will not include accidental damage on the contents because of the lodgers.

Any ideas?

    rentguard will do it. https://www.rentguard.co.uk (I think) but easy enough to find on google. I think they only take business through brokers but you should check

    Hi

    You could try https://www.keyconnect.co.uk

    They have just insured an unoccupied property for me at a good rate and will probably be able to give you a quote. HTH.

    accidental damage with tenants is a bit of a bug bear - who do it?
