Hi all;
I am new the forum. It is great! I have not got a second property as yet, but I researching into investing in Egypt. Just wondering if anyone knows of an insurance company in the UK that offers home insurance for properties in Egypt.

Roger, welcome to LMH!
We tried very hard to get a broker to cover our property in Switzerland, but although dozens cover EEC properties I only found one who would cover outside the EEC, the cost was astronomic. Swiss cover was not expensive, and less than equivalent cover in the UK.
My gut feeling is go for a large British insurance company operating in Egypt (if there is such a thing) or for a local broker recommended by the Brit. embassy in Cairo. Dig into unusual clauses like war, riots and earthquakes perhaps?
