What is Landlords Insurance? What is Let Residential Property Insurance?
Landlords Insurance or Let Residential Property Insurance provides financial protection for landlords renting a property to tenants.
It is different to Home Insurance as it covers the additional risks associated with renting a property. Landlords Insurance can cover buildings, landlord contents, accidental damage, loss of rent, property owners liability, employers liability and can extend cover to Legal Expenses and rent guarantee.
Is it a legal requirement to have Landlord’s Insurance Cover?
No, it is not a legal requirement to have Landlord Insurance, unless you employ people or are a limited company with more than one director.
It is wise to have the cover though to protect your financial investment.
If you have finance on the property, then it is likely that buildings insurance will be a condition of the loan. Best to check your finance documents or with your professional adviser.
