Do I need Landlord Insurance?

Whether or not you need landlord insurance will depend on several factors, many of which are related to your personal situation and property portfolio. Although landlord insurance is not legally required, many landlords choose to take out a policy in order to protect their property investment and their monthly income.

For example, if rental payments weren’t coming through from tenants as expected, or a property was in desperate need of repairs, some landlords wouldn’t have the savings to cover these issues whilst also affording to pay off their own mortgage. But that’s where landlord insurance comes in, to provide that peace of mind that your property business is protected for the long run.

But what insurance do you need as a landlord?

Landlord insurance policies are very similar to ordinary home insurance policies, but they instead also include coverage to protect landlords from the regular, day-to-day issues that they face. The following types of landlord insurance, together, can provide the all-round protection that landlords need:

• Landlord’s buildings insurance
• Landlord’s contents insurance
• Rent Guarantee insurance
• Liability insurance (i.e., public liability, employer’s liability etc.

You can, of course, adapt your landlord insurance package to suit your property business and your personal needs because you can pick and choose which coverage options are most important to you.
