As Acorn is a specialist insurance provider, each policy is designed to fit a specific scenario, such as a house that’s unoccupied for part of the year of a flat at risk of flooding. Its home insurance policies can be tweaked to suit the cover you’re looking for.

The actual amount of cover you are after will depend on your circumstances and the type or property you want to insure. You’re free to choose the level of cover you’d like, and you’ll be given a quote for how much this will cost.
