Frequently asked questions
-
What am I entitled to as a member?
As well as getting 20% off landlord insurance, eligible Wesleyan members get exclusive access to discounts across a range of our insurance products.

-
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.
