Landlord
Insurance

When you’re a landlord, it’s common to be concerned about whether your tenants are looking after your property – that’s why insurance is instrumental to your peace of mind. Bricks and mortar are the best financial investment they say, so why would you risk not protecting your assets? Property insurance is not as expensive as you may think, and a quotation is free, so it doesn’t make sense to not check financial viability.

As standard, all Landlord Insurance policies will protect your investment against standard perils such as Flood, Fire and Storm damage; protecting the bricks and mortar is the priority for property owners. Besides the obvious, there are numerous additional cover options available, including accidental damage cover for the buildings, cover for malicious damage by your tenants, and even cover for contents that you provide for part/fully furnished properties, such as carpets, flooring, furniture, curtains and blinds, and any white goods such as refrigerators and cookers.

Cover Considerations

It is also common to have liability insurance included in your package. This helps ensure you aren’t left out of pocket if a tenant or member of public is injured in relation to your property or outstanding repairs. Additional protection available includes cover for theft/attempted theft by your tenants, and cover for glass breakage, sanitary faults, boiler issues and burst pipes.

Connect Insurance can also arrange loss of rent cover. This helps in the event that the property is rendered uninhabitable by a fire/flood. It ensures you as an owner are not left out of pocket due to reduced income during the repairs in relation to a claim. You may also desire alternative accommodation cover. This means your clients are provided with substitute residence during the ongoing repairs to your damaged property. It ensures you do not lose revenue or good tenants following an incident.
