Leading vacant-building insurance shopper forges new partnerships, allowing company to offer unprecedented pricing on tricky style of insurance, Vacant Building Insurance reports

Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/12/2015 -- Vacant Building Insurance, a leading provider of insurance quotes, announced that the company is now able to secure even lower rates for many clients who seek insurance for their vacant homes or other properties. Thanks to new relationships with some of the country's top insurers, VBI can now offer substantial discounts to many customers even compared to the company's already industry-leading rates. Arranging for insurance for buildings which will be vacant for some time can otherwise be extremely time-consuming and costly, but Vacant Building Insurance takes the difficulty out of the process, quickly gathering quotes for clients and saving them money.

"With temperatures falling quickly, we're happy to announce that our rates are doing the same," Vacant Building Insurance representative Tammy Peeples said, "Our new partnerships are enabling us to provide some incredibly attractive quotes for vacant building insurance, as many of our customers are finding out right now at http://www.vacantbuildinginsurance.org"

Although definitions as to what makes a building vacant vary from one insurance provider and policy to the next, insurers are normally very reluctant to cover structures that will not be inhabited for a significant period of time. Such buildings become targets for thieves and vandals and can suffer grave damage when no one is there to catch normally routine problems, like plumbing failures, that instead develop into major ones.

Even basic liability issues alone can become much more pointed when a building is left vacant, greatly increasing the exposure of insurers to large claims. For this reason, they often charge prohibitive-seeming premiums for such homes and buildings, sometimes declining to cover them at all.

Vacant Building Insurance was founded to assist homeowners and others with the normally difficult and expensive search for such insurance. With a wide network of highly regarded insurers that allows the company to offer quotes to clients in all 50 states, VBI does all the hard work of gathering vacant building insurance quotes for clients.

Gray areas regarding vacant building coverage bring about vast misunderstandings among property owners, publishes vacantbuildinginsurance.org

Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2014 -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency reports more than 28,000 vacant building fires occur each year resulting in an estimated $900 million in property loss in the residential sector alone. In addition to mounting property losses, owners of these structures also find themselves responsible for the extensive costs of more than 40 deaths and over 200 injuries annually. Although owners typically hold insurance policies on their properties, most general policy providers tend to fall short on their coverage of structures considered vacant.

In light of these issues, John Brown of Vacant Building Insurance has launched heightened efforts to extend more complete coverage to vacant property owners throughout the United States. Said Brown, "Most general insurance providers are quite vague when it comes to their definitions of 'vacant' as well as the coverage they offer their policy holders in these situations. This leads their clients to believe they're covered when, in fact, they aren't. We specialize in vacant building insurance and work with a number of major insurance companies across the country to provide thorough coverage for owners of properties falling into this category."

According to the vacantbuildinginsurance.org website, commercial and residential buildings less than 35 percent occupied are classified as vacant. Vacation and seasonal homes are also typically considered vacant properties. Structures currently under renovation are likewise included in this designation. All these scenarios are not covered under a standard insurance policy.

Severe storms and flooding resulting from heavy rains or neglected plumbing are among the most common causes of vacant property loss; however, fire is the most prominent culprit. Unsupervised furnace systems, combustible materials and hazardous chemicals greatly increase the risk of fire. Many unoccupied buildings are also at greater risk due to improperly maintained fire suppression systems. Vandalism plays a significant role in property loss as well.

In addition to ensuring proper insurance coverage for these types of structures, the experts at Vacant Building Insurance advise taking certain safety precautions to reduce the risks involved in ownership of unoccupied buildings. Professional roof inspections are crucial in this respect as the roof is the structure's primary line of defense against the elements. Plumbing and sprinkler systems should also be properly inspected and maintained. These assessments should be performed annually as well as following tornadoes, hurricanes and bouts of severe winter weather.

Brown concluded, "We encourage anyone who needs an insurance policy of this nature or is unsure of the extent of their current coverage to call us or visit our website for a vacant building insurance quote. We can help our clients get the most out of their insurance budget while keeping potential losses at a minimum. Our goal is to work with our clients on an individual basis to help them get the best and most affordable coverage available in their unique circumstances."
