Landlords Buildings Cover

Building Insurance may protect you and your property when you need it most. You could be putting your investment at risk if you don’t take out a cover designed for buildings.

Alternative accommodation

Up to 20% of your maximum claim limit to pay for temporary accommodation for your tenants, or to cover the loss of rent, if your property is uninhabitable following an insured event.

Contents Cover

The Contents Insurance optional extra covers up to £15,000 to cover loss or damage to the landlord’s contents caused by certain events such as fire, storm, flood and theft.

Accidental and malicious damage

The Accidental and malicious damage optional extra may help protect against deliberate damage or theft caused to the property by a tenant or their visitors, which is excluded when this option is not selected.

Landlord Emergency

Landlord Emergency optional extra provides up to £1,000 per incident, with no limit on the number of incidents per year, for a number of let home emergencies. Cover is provided for the cost of a contractor’s emergency call-out, labour charges and parts and materials.

Legal Expenses

Landlords Legal Expenses is an optional extra designed to help Landlords through difficult and often stressful legal situations.

The Legal Expenses policy offers £100,000 of legal cover plus a 24-hour legal advice Helpline. You also have the option to include Rent Guarantee cover.

Rent Guarantee

Even the best tenants can find their circumstances change suddenly, meaning they're unable to pay the rent. Rent Guarantee is an optional extra which will pay unpaid rent by the Tenant of up to £2,500 per month for up to 6 months.

I wished for an administrative matter to be dealt with and it was, with helpful explanation and guidance and very prompt action to see it completed. I was both impressed and grateful to Steve.
