The Holiday Homes Insurance Experts...
Abel Barcroft & Co are part of Smith & Pinching General Insurance Services Limited Insurance Brokers based in Norwich. Since 1985 Abel Barcroft & Co have been providing specialist insurance cover for owners of second/holiday homes. Whether the home is just used by family or friends or let on a business/commercial basis we can arrange all the necessary covers. We unfortunately can not provide cover for caravans.
Our size and wealth of experience enables us to quote premiums that are probably the most competitive available. We are also able to offer additional cover options for homes in the UK that are not normally available in the standard insurance market place.
Our continuous investment in the latest technology means that we are in a position to give the best possible service levels at all times and most importantly at the time of someone wanting to make a claim.

It is with the above in mind and with nothing to lose, that in respect of homes in the UK we ask you to try out our service by clicking on "Get a Holiday Home Quote" above. Alternatively should you wish please give us a call on our freephone number 0800 195 1993. This is also the number to call if your holiday home is outside of the UK. This site cannot unfortunately provide you with an online quotation for homes not in the UK because of all the different taxation considerations that have to be taken into account.
PS. Please note we are in a position to give additional discounts if we also get to insure your main home.
