Landlord Insurance
Landlord insurance is a type of insurance that protects landlords from financial losses associated with renting out a property. It typically covers the following:
– Buildings insurance: This covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding the property if it is damaged by fire, flood, storm, or other natural disaster.
– Contents insurance: This covers the cost of replacing the landlord’s belongings in the property if they are damaged or stolen.
– Landlord liability insurance: This covers the landlord if they are sued by a tenant or third party for damages caused by the property.
– Loss of rent insurance: This covers the landlord if they lose rent due to a tenant vacating the property early or causing damage that prevents the property from being rented.
– Tenant default insurance: This covers the landlord for the cost of repossessing the property and evicting a tenant who has not paid rent.
– Liability Insurance: to cover you if you’re taken to court – this type of insurance can include property owners’ public liability or employers’ liability.
– Unoccupied property insurance: to cover you in-between tenants. Ordinary home insurance will not normally cover a rental property as you are not living there. Regular home insurance is not designed for the specific situations that you might face as a landlord or claims made against you by your tenants.
It depends on a few factors. Let’s take a look at the options and see why you might need them.
– Landlord Buildings Insurance: This covers you for loss or damage caused to the building itself and could re-imburse you if your property is damaged due to fire or flood etc. Some buildings insurance covers malicious damage caused by tenants.
– Landlord Contents Insurance: Your tenants are responsible for insuring their own personal belongings but if you’re renting out a furnished property you might want contents insurance to cover the things you own. You could also add accidental damage cover to your landlord insurance, which would cover spills, breakages or damages caused by your tenants. If you’re renting out multiple flats you could get contents cover for communal areas such as halls, receptions, stairs and landings. Many policies include this cover as standard and you can tailor its limit to your needs.
– Property Owners / Public Liability Insurance: Public liability insurance will cover you for your legal defence costs and expenses, as well as any damages that may be awarded if one of your tenants has an accident at your rental property and considers it to be your fault.
– Employers Liability Insurance: This is a legal requirement if you employ anyone at your rental property who is directly under your supervision and control. This might be a cleaner or gardener or even a volunteer. You will be responsible by law for arranging employers’ liability insurance to cover you for legal defence costs and any awards made for accidental bodily injury, illness or disease caused to staff due to your negligence.
– Unoccupied Property Cover: Usually “unoccupied” means there’s no one living at the property for over 30 days and so this type of cover might be useful if you need to make renovations to the house or flat before you rent it, or if you are in-between tenants. Because the extent and cover of Landlord Insurance premiums vary, make sure you compare what is actually covered within your policy to ensure that you are getting the best and most appropriate deal for you. If you rent out multiple properties you can either take out individual policies on each property or have a multi property policy.
Landlord insurance is not a legal requirement in the UK, but it is highly recommended. Without landlord insurance, landlords could be left financially devastated if something goes wrong with their rental property.
Here are some of the reasons why you would need landlord insurance in the UK:
– To protect your investment: Your rental property is a valuable asset, and landlord insurance can help protect it from damage or loss.
– To cover your legal liability: If a tenant is injured in your property, you could be sued. Landlord insurance can help cover the cost of legal fees and damages.
– To protect your income: If a tenant leaves your property early or causes damage that makes it uninhabitable, you could lose rent. Landlord insurance can help cover these losses.
– To give you peace of mind: Landlord insurance can give you peace of mind knowing that you are protected financially if something goes wrong with your rental property.

Let`s dive into some of the benefits of switching to a new mortgage:
👉🏻 Remortgaging can allow you to take out a new loan with lower monthly repayments, reducing your outgoings and making your home 🏡 more affordable.
👉🏻 Remortgaging might mean you find a loan you could pay off more quickly ⏱, through making larger monthly repayments.
👉🏻 If your home has increased considerably in value since you took out your original mortgage 💰, you could now be enjoying a lower rate of interest.
👉🏻 If you need to borrow money for, say, home improvements 🔨or to buy a new car 🚘, or you’d like to consolidate your loans, remortgaging can allow you to do it.
Our Mortgage Advisors can evaluate your unique situation, helping you to make an informed decision on costs and savings. We`ll do the paperwork for you and we`ll be there to decipher the jargon and answer any questions you might have.
Oh and did we mention we don`t charge a broker fee! 🤩

Upsizing can be expensive, so it`s crucial to know your budget and what kind of property you can actually afford.
When it comes to mortgages, it may be tempting to stick with your current lender, but it`s wise to explore your options. Because shopping around can pay off big time!

🏡 Ready to build your dream home? You`ll need a self-build mortgage that`s right for you...
With most self-build mortgages, the money is paid out after each stage of completion. But did you know that some self-build mortgages release the money required at the start of each stage?
This is particularly useful if you don`t have the cash up front to pay your builders or buy materials.
Interest rates on self-build mortgages tend to be higher than on standard mortgages, so it`s important to shop around before you decide which mortgage is right for you.
Let us help you find the right self-build mortgage to make your dream home a reality!

Although a mortgage is a long-term financial commitment, you don’t have to stay with the same product or lender for the whole term.
In fact, you should regularly review your mortgage, making sure it`s still suitable for your needs and the rate remains competitive.
We can help you assess whether things have changed since you took your original mortgage or are likely to change in the future. And offer advice on the suitability of your current mortgage.
