What is landlord insurance?

Landlord insurance is cover that protects the property you manage. Any standard home building and contents insurance that may have been in place when the property was in owner occupation is no longer valid the moment the property is let to tenants.

You might be a professional landlord who has made the conscious decision to invest in buy to let properties as a serious business proposition. On the other hand, you might be an accidental landlord who has inherited property or decided to let a home already in your ownership.

Insurers take the view that property which is owned for essentially business purposes – let to tenants in pursuit of a rental income – is exposed to different risks and vulnerabilities than one which is occupied by its owner as a principal home.


What does landlord insurance cover?

Depending on your needs as a landlord, you can get cover for different elements. Buildings insurance can cover the cost of repairing and rebuilding your property if something were to happen. You can also arrange to cover the contents within the property that belong to you should you be letting a fully furnished property.

There are different risks that each landlord might want to get covered depending on their business needs. Fire, smoke damage, flooding, vandalism and theft, the very structure and fabric of your let property may be at risk. The total building sum insured, for instance, is typically calculated with reference to the cost of completely reconstructing the building if it has been damaged beyond repair as well as clearing the site.


Do I need landlord insurance?

Firstly, if your let property is mortgaged, typically you will be legally obliged under your mortgage contract to have an adequate amount of buildings insurance cover in order to protect both your financial interest in the property.

Landlords may also want to ensure that, in the event of an insured incident leaving the property temporarily unlettable, that insurance provides some degree of compensation for lost rental income. The maximum amount payable in these circumstances is commonly expressed as a percentage of the total building sum insured.

If you do not have landlord insurance, and the worst comes to the worst, you stand to lose the entire property and have no recourse to the funds necessary for its reconstruction. The provision of that safeguard is probably the single most important aspect of landlord insurance.
