Insurance working abroad

Hi,

I am set to move abroad to Madrid for 6 months from the end of August with work and I am struggling to find an appropriate insurance policy for my possessions. I believe health will be covered by work and I have an annual travel policy for any trips I take during this time anyway, and so my understanding is that I am looking for just pure contents insurance.

Travel insurance does not seem to cover my possessions under this scenario, and also for seems expensive anyway as it will include a lot of aspects I actually wouldn't need.

Can anyone recommend a provider or even just what product I would be looking for?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Siobhan

    I imagine you'll need to take out contents insurance locally once you arrive in Madrid, the same as any Madrileno would do moving into a new property.
