Other Fees at Coastal Kippford
At Coastal Kippford we like to lay out all costs at the start, so you know exactly what to expect throughout your holiday home journey. This includes costs such as insurance, gas safety check and utilities.
To help you protect your holiday home we have an arrangement with insurance scheme provider Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited. We chose Gallagher because their specialist team has over 300 years of combined experience and are adept at developing insurance packages to make sure you get comprehensive cover at a competitive price. When you purchase a holiday home we can arrange an insurance quote on your behalf. In subsequent years, you will receive a renewal quotation direct from Gallagher.

An annual Gas Safety Check is mandatory for the safety of all holiday home Owners and guests. Safety checks can be arranged through our office with local plumbers. The cost is currently £54.00 (inclusive of Vat). Other services such as annual boiler servicing is also available at an additional cost.

Lodges are supplied by Calor tanks; there is a small annual admin charge of £54.00 (inclusive of Vat) for billing and maintenance, and a quarterly standing charge of £16.55 (inclusive of Vat) for the rental of the tank (£66.20 per year).
