Why do I need landlord insurance?

Search our FAQs

Although landlord’s insurance isn’t compulsory, a dedicated policy designed for landlords will provide specific cover for your rental property. Landlord’s insurance will cover you for many of the same things that your home insurance does but it will also cover the risks that come with a buy to let such as building, contents and loss of rent cover.
