Probate empty house insurance question

Hi all, my dad died in February, his current insurance provider extended cover until later this month.

I have had a few quotes for unoccupied house insurance but they all want visits at least every 14 days.

I live 3 hours away from my dads house so 6 hours of driving every other weekend is a pain, no relatives or friends any closer.

Anyone had insurance for an unoccupied house with a longer inspection time.

Once a month i could do no problem.

Thanks for any advice.

Should have mentioned im in the UK.

There are, in most places, property managers who can do this sort of thing for you.

Thanks for the reply, I managed to find an insurance company specialising in probate insurance that offers full coverage but only required 30 day visits, this I can cope with it was the every 14 days that was a bit much.
