Do I need Landlord insurance cover?
The Landlord is responsible for insuring the property and that the insurance policy provides adequate cover when the property is both tenanted and vacant. Also known as buy-to-let insurance, Landlords need third party liability insurance to meet any costs and damages if a member of the public suffers an injury, or damage to their property. It can also include buildings insurance to cover the orginal structure as well as any improvements or renovations. If you're renting out a furnished property, it is advisable to include contents insurance as this can protect everything from your furniture to the TV you provide to your tenants. Finally, you may consider loss of rental income if the property is uninhabitable due to fire, flooding or major damage. This additional cover can also be included.
