What's covered?

We know that no two properties are the same, which is why as a broker, we’ll find you a policy that’s built for your needs. Through our advice-based service and panel of insurance providers, we offer policies that can include:

Type of cover
How it works
Multiple properties
Include multiple rental homes in one policy to protect your portfolio. Add extra properties as and when you need to, with cover tailored to each of your rental homes.
Malicious damage to buildings by tenants
You'll be covered for intentional damage to your property by your tenants, such as smashed windows.
Alternative accommodation or cover for loss of rent
You're protected if your property isn't fit to live in following an insured event (like a fire or a flood). Get alternative accommodation for your tenants or cover for the rent you've lost if your tenants temporarily move out.
Repairs or rebuilding of your property
If a fire, flood or other insured event leaves your property worse for wear, you're covered for repairs and rebuilding to restore your rental home.
Accidental damage to underground services
This covers services that you're legally responsible for. For example, domestic oil pipes, water supply pipes, underground sewers, drains and septic tanks.
Theft or attempted theft
Protect your property with cover for broken windows, doors and more.
Trace and access cover
Covers the cost of locating the source of a leak and making the necessary repairs.
Subsidence, heave or landslip
This covers the cost of work needed on the site of your property.
Public liability up to £5,000,000
Covers costs and damages for bodily injury or damage to your property caused by an accident on your property.

  • Landlord legal protection - Covers costs for legal disputes such as eviction

  • Is it compulsory to have landlord insurance?
    By law, you don’t need to have landlord insurance. However, your mortgage provider may make it a condition of securing a mortgage, particularly if it’s a buy-to-let or landlord mortgage.
  • Is home insurance the same as landlord insurance?

    While there are similarities between the two, home insurance doesn’t offer the same level of cover as landlord insurance.

    Landlord insurance is designed to protect your rental properties. For example, it usually includes loss of rent and alternative accommodation cover. You can also opt for specialist landlord legal protection that covers you for legal expenses or disputes, such as eviction or malicious damage by your tenants.

  • Is landlord insurance tax deductible?

    In short, yes - landlord insurance is tax deductible.

    Landlords can claim certain costs relating to the running and maintaining of their rental property as a business expense. This means you can deduct the cost of insuring your buy-to-let property from your rental income when calculating how much income tax you owe, and therefore reducing your tax bill.
