Surely this would be covered if you had demonstrably made arrangements
for someone to visit the house on a regular basis just to check that
everything is in order?

I think I'd be worried about leaving a house completely unopened for
an extended period of time.

We are at present "looking after" an empty house. The insurance cover is
minimal but does specify visiting at least twice a week.
