not have to be difficult providing you know exactly what you are looking
for. As a landlord, conscious of cashflow, it can be very tempting to opt
for the cheapest policy. This is not always best practice. It's important
that you understand what the policy covers and most importantly that your
investment property is fully insured to protect your long term investment.
Landlord insurance is not a legal requirement, although most lenders will
want to have confirmation that an insurance policy is in place if a buy to
let mortgage has been applied for. Even as a cash buyer, it would be rather
unwise not to take out adequate insurance. As a landlord you should consider
your properties to be a business and with business there is always a risk
element and investment properties should be treated in the same manner. Without
suitable landlord insurance, a theft or fire can have a very detrimental
effect on your long term investment and the long hours you have invested
in building up your property portfolio. As owning buy to let properties becomes
increasingly popular, it is important that landlords are properly
covered.
As a residential landlord, it would be their responsibility to insure the
building and any contents belonging to the landlord. For example light fittings,
kitchen units, heated towel rails. As well as a landlords insurance covering
things like fire, theft, vandalism, leaks, smoke damage, subsidence, burst
pipes to name but a few, there are a number of additional options that may
be available.
Landlords Liability - If someone is injured at the property due to negligence
of the landlord
Rent Guarantee
Legal Expenses - Costs towards legal expenses when having to evict problem
tenants
As far as tenants go, generally the tenants would then take out their own
contents insurance cover protecting their personal belongings in the
property.
There are a number of different Landlord Insurance companies offering landlord
insurance. They may cover, let property, unoccupied property, property let
to DSS, and commercial property. Make sure you know exactly what the landlord
insurance policy is covering before you make your decision.
