Get a QuoteWhat is Landlord Insurance?
Landlord Insurance covers the cost of damage to your property and protects your investment from
a host of perils.
Specialist Buildings and Contents Insurance is available for landlords letting a property.
Our insurance covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding your property if it is damaged.
Our 40 essential covers start with the basics, but include protection against loss
caused by industry-specific perils, such as malicious damage by your tenant.
Contents Insurance covers the furniture, fixtures and fittings that could be taken out of the
property, such as carpets, curtains and white goods. Although you are likely to take a deposit
from the tenant to cover any charges for repairing or replacing your contents, it may not be
sufficient. Taking out Contents Insurance ensures that you can bring the property back into use
if its furniture, fixtures and fittings are damaged or stolen.
We come highly recommended by our landlords:
“I couldn’t find anything that gave me as good a cover for anywhere near the same price.”
– Jacky
“Would recommend to anyone looking for Landlord Insurance” – Jennifer

so we offer 40 essential covers to all landlords.
Starting with the basics – such as fire, storm, flood and escape of water – we also
provide protection against loss or damage caused by a host of perils you may not
actually have thought you needed – but, in our experience, you may do – or you may have
thought all providers offered, which they do not always do.
We are proud of the service, cover and policy we have designed and offer.
It has been constantly adapted over the years to ensure you receive great
value for money.

The Importance of Landlords Insurance – Why you Might Need Both Buildings and Contents Insurance
Whenever you buy a property, it is paramount that you protect the bricks and mortar
against loss or damage – this is covered by a Buildings Insurance policy.
Looking at the list of covers above, you will see a whole host of perils that your
property can be protected against under our Landlords Insurance, such as accidental
damage, fire and theft.
While ensuring that the property you’ve invested in is covered against these perils,
it is also important to consider the contents inside the property that you own.
A Contents Insurance policy covers anything that you provide inside the property,
such as furnishings. A good way to identify the contents is to imagine flipping the
property upside down – anything that fell down would be covered by Contents,
rather than Buildings, Insurance.
Suffering loss or damage to any part of your property could be detrimental to your
lettings business, so having both types of cover in place will prevent damage to your
pocket!
Do I Need Landlord Insurance?
All landlords that want to cover the cost of damage to their property and protect their
investment from a host of perils should take out Landlord Insurance.
And, what’s more, in today’s blame-and-claim society, you especially need Liability Cover to
protect you from any accidents happening at your property.
Just as you’d insure your own home, Landlord Insurance protects your rental property. If you
rent out a property that you do not live in, it won’t be covered by your home insurance.
Buildings and Contents Insurance for your investment enable you to rest assured that your
property is protected. Just Landlords can cover both the structure of your property and any
contents you provide.
Our Landlords Insurance policy gives you the widest cover on the market.

FAQ
It is not a legal requirement that landlords have Landlord Insurance in place to protect their rental properties. However, you must be aware that a standard home insurance policy will not cover your property when it is used for rental purposes.
You must also be aware that your mortgage lender may require you to have Landlords Insurance in place before you can let to tenants – if you do not, you may be breaching your mortgage terms.
Furthermore, if somebody is injured in your property and you’re found to be legally liable, you will need Property Owners’ Liability and Legal Liability as Occupier or Landlord cover – both are included as standard with Just Landlords.
A Landlords Insurance policy covers your property against risks related to your investment. At the very least, you should consider Buildings cover and Property Owners’ Liability insurance, which can protect your property against loss or damage and your own legal liability as the owner of the property. Contents cover will protect the items that you’ve provided as a landlord for the property, such as furniture or white goods.
Many Landlord Insurance providers will give you the option to add on certain essential covers to your policy, such as accidental damage or loss of rent. We include these as standard to ensure that you have all the covers you may need as a landlord.
In order to protect yourself and your property, it’s crucial that you have Buildings Insurance at least – our policy covers your legal liability as the owner of the property, as well as free cover for your contents provided with the Buildings.
This Landlord Insurance policy includes 40 essential covers as standard, so that you don’t need to worry about being covered.
If you’re worried about your tenants falling into rent arrears, you may also want to think about taking out Rent Guarantee and Legal Expenses Insurance. This is a peace of mind cover that protects your rental income against tenant rent default and the cost of evicting a non-paying tenant.
As a homeowner, you are not legally required to have home insurance – the same is the case for tenants. Your tenants are not legally obliged to protect their belongings in your property, and they won’t be covered by your own Landlord Insurance policy.
It’s important that your tenants understand the importance of protecting their personal contents, as these won’t be covered by your Contents cover in the event of loss or damage.
It is, however, within your rights as a landlord to write into the tenancy agreement that your tenants must have their own insurance to protect their liability as a tenant for accidental damage to your property. You can add this requirement as a clause and explain the reason for this when your tenant comes to sign the contract.
