    So is it a holiday home for you or have you just moved to the UK and therefore its your main home but just havent been here long enough to be considered resident?

    It may not be either of those.  I know of people who lived in the UK and bought property, then moved abroad for most of the year.  They don't let their property in the UK, but are absent for periods longer than permitted for standard UK house insurers.

    By holiday home I meant more the "2nd home" style where you just go there for holidays/ weekend breaks etc rather than the type that you do short lets to others... appreciate it wasnt clear
