What does Landlord insurance cover?

A standard landlord insurance policy can cover several situations, including the following if selected.

Building insurance

Damage to the building cause by fire, lightening, explosion, falling aircraft, earthquake, and riots. These can also include party fire and theft, repairing or replacing especially when involved in an accident. There sometimes can be a claims bonus and it may be something you could pay for monthly.

Contents insurance

Damage to or loss of, your possessions including white goods, carpets, fixtures, and fittings. This all depends on what sort of level of cover you take and then it will be the insurance premium. Sometimes the more the premium the more it covers the cost.

Property owner’s liability

Protects you if you are deemed liable for damage or injuries suffered by third parties at the property.

Alternative accommodation

Covers your cost if your tenants are forced to move out at a time during the damage to a property.

Accidental damage

Protects your buildings and belongings if your tenants damage your property unintentionally.

Malicious damage

Covers the cost of repair if your tenants intentionally damage your property – not always as standard. Normally an add on.

Employee’s liability

Protects you if you employ people in your property who then become injured due to a negligence.

Unoccupied property cover

Protects the property whilst it is unoccupied ie you are waiting for new tenants to move in.

How can you reduce the cost of landlord insurance?

The cost of landlord insurance sometimes depends on several factors, some of which will not be under your control. These are such as the tenant’s employment status and location of the property. However, thinking about the following can help you find cheaper landlord insurance quotes.

Property conditions

A property in good repair is less likely to need a claim and could mean lower premiums.

Security measures

Increased security measures also reduce the chance you would have to claim.

Level of cover

Taking out additional levels of cover will increase the overall price of the policy.

Your claims history

If you have made a high number of claims over the years you are likely to pay more.

Do I need contents insurance as a landlord?

You might need contents insurance as a landlord if you are supplying furniture, fixtures, and fittings for your tenants. For example, a landlords contents policy can help with free standing sofas and beds, floor coverings and electrical appliances. You can generally expect the following to be covered as either standard or as an add on and you should check.

Firstly, furniture such as sofas and cabinets.

Secondly, kitchen appliances like ovens or sinks.

Thirdly, curtains and carpets.

Paintings and pictures.

Light fittings.

Out buildings such as sheds or houses.

Gardens and garden contents.

Finally, communal areas – if you are letting your property out to multiple tenants.

You might also be able to claim for alternative accommodation for your tenants if any damage to your contents renders the property uninhabitable.

Can I get quotes insurance for multiple properties?

We offer the option of adding multiple properties to your policy. You may even be able to get a discount on your premiums as a result. However, you may find that you need to separate properties for each policy. It is always better to compare your options before committing to any individual insurance company.

Is landlord insurance a legal requirement?

Landlord insurance is not a legal requirement. However, you are putting yourself at considerable risk by not buying it if you rent your properties. You cannot use standard home insurance for a rental property. Any claims you make for a rental property on a regular insurance will be denied.

Many lessee holders do not understand the law when it comes to dealing with building insurance. Managing agents have an added interest as they often receive commission from their insurance broker. This is not always the best cover and, on many occasions, not the best price. They will try their hardest to ensure that you are unable to find better cover at a cheaper price because they make money out of it. They may not even have to pay a proposition over to the freeholder. We will go into the market and find the best possible price and cover for you. Therefore, we are happy to disclose our commission at any point and any money received for your building insurance.

Did you know that the law allows you to ask your managing agent for full details of commission they receive for the insurance?

They often come up with excuses such as “the commission is there to pay for claims”, “this is part of our management fees”. However, this is often not the case. If there have been no claims, how can they charge a commission? You are entitled to know exactly the amount they receive and question it. You can go back up to 6 years and question the insurance if you believe you have been over charged a substantial amount. This can be a complicated process via the lessee hold valuation tribunal and you would need to employ a solicitor. Therefore, why not contact us for a quote and we can help you in this regard.
