LANDLORD pROTECTION FOR BUY-TO-LET PROPERTIES

Standard home insurance won’t cover you against the many risks associated with buy-to-let properties. You need specialist landlord insurance to make sure that your property is covered for certain situations that you wouldn’t have with a residential property.

What is Landlord Insurance?

This type of insurance typically covers the building, but you can also include landlord contents cover as well. If you have a buy-to-let mortgage on the property, the lender will likely have conditions that include taking out the appropriate insurance.

Landlord protection can also provide rental guarantees, which means that if the tenants don’t pay rent, there can be financial support until new tenants are in place, or the tenants settle their arrears.

Building Insurance

This component covers the physical structure of the rental property, including the walls, roof, floors, and fixtures. It provides financial protection against damage to the building caused by perils such as fire, storms, vandalism, and other covered events.

Contents Insurance (Optional)

While the landlord is not typically responsible for insuring the tenant’s personal belongings, some policies offer the option to include contents insurance for items owned by the landlord and kept within the property. This might include appliances or furniture provided by the landlord.

Speak To an Expert

DO I NEED LANDLORD Protection?

Landlord protection insurance is advised for the following individuals:

Property Owners Who Rent Out Residential Homes

Buy-to-Let Property Owners

Individuals who purchase properties with the specific intent of renting it out as an income-generating investment should have landlord insurance. This includes properties acquired for long-term or short-term rentals.
