Cheers for the detailed answer. All sounds a bit of a ballache so I'll probably just go with the visitor permits for the moment (£3.50 a day rather than ~ £120 a year annoyingly) and leaving it at the MIL's mainly.
We wouldn't make any insurance claims for damage/theft whilst it is parked (it's a 2002 punto so not the most valuable) so hopefully that shouldn't arise but I take your point.
Interestingly my insurance told me that when I move back to Brighton in September I'll likely get a small refund because its safer there than in London
