Home insurance for expats in Lanzarote, Spain

Looking for home insurance in Lanzarote? We arrange buildings, contents and combined home insurance for expats and foreign owners across Lanzarote and Canary Islands — villas, apartments and holiday homes alike — and explain every policy in plain English.

English-speaking home insurance in Lanzarote

Lanzarote, with its striking volcanic landscape and low-rise white architecture, centres on Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise.

Why home insurance matters in Lanzarote

Volcanic eruption and storms are extraordinary risks covered by the Consorcio; strong trade winds and salt air are everyday factors, and many homes are holiday properties.

Cover options for properties in Lanzarote

Whatever you own in Lanzarote, we can arrange cover in English:

Setting the right sums insured in Lanzarote

The two figures that matter most are the buildings sum insured (what it would cost to rebuild your Lanzarote property from scratch, not its market value) and the contents sum insured (the cost to replace your belongings). Under-insuring either can lead to a proportionally reduced payout at claim time, so we help you set both correctly for the local rebuild costs and your home — see buildings & contents insurance.

Holiday homes and non-resident owners in Lanzarote

Many properties in Lanzarote are holiday or second homes owned from abroad. We arrange cover that continues while the property is empty, and handle everything in English — see holiday home insurance and non-resident home insurance.

Renting out a property in Lanzarote?

If you let your Lanzarote property long-term or to holidaymakers, ask about landlord and holiday-rental cover — a standard owner policy may not respond to tenant or guest risks.

Making a claim on a Lanzarote home

If something happens, report it to us as early as you can, take steps to prevent further damage and keep photographs and receipts. We manage the claim with the insurer in English so you are not negotiating a Spanish process alone. Extraordinary events — major floods, earthquakes, severe storms officially declared — are compensated separately by Spain's Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros, funded by a small surcharge already included in your premium.

Lanzarote FAQs

Home insurance in Lanzarote — your questions

Is eruption or storm damage covered?

Extraordinary events including eruptions are compensated by the Consorcio; your insurer covers everyday damage. Cover varies by insurer and policy, so always check your policy terms.

Can non-residents insure a Lanzarote villa?

Yes — arranged remotely in English.

Can I arrange home insurance in Lanzarote in English?

Yes. We arrange everything in plain English — the quote, the policy documents and any claim — so nothing is lost in translation, even though the policy itself is a Spanish contract. You deal with English-speaking advisers throughout.

How much does home insurance cost in Lanzarote?

The premium depends mainly on your rebuild (buildings) value, the contents sum insured, the property type and the location and occupancy of the home. We give you a tailored figure for your Lanzarote property rather than a one-size-fits-all price — any figures shown are indicative only.

Do I legally need home insurance in Lanzarote?

Home insurance is only legally required if you have a Spanish mortgage, where the lender requires buildings cover for the life of the loan. Otherwise it is strongly recommended but optional — most owners still insure contents and personal liability.

Can you insure a holiday home or non-resident-owned property in Lanzarote?

Yes. We arrange cover for second homes and properties owned from abroad, including the periods when the home is left empty. See holiday home and non-resident home insurance.
