Landlord Insurance
Residential property insurance for landlords is a
lot more complicated than home insurance for
owner-occupiers.
Whether you own a single unit or a multi-location
portfolio of houses and flats, and whether you
manage them yourself or through a professional
letting agent you probably don't want to think about
landlord's insurance too much but the sad fact is
that not only are you open to risks of your
properties suffering from fire, vandalism, theft or
flood and many other common problems but there are
also public liability, interruptions to your
business, equipment breakdowns, personal accidents
or assaults, and employers' liability to think
about, all of which could cost you a great deal of
money. Add to that not only loss of rent but
potential re-housing costs if the unexpected happens
and your hard-earned asset could turn into a
liability. As if you didn't have enough to worry
about in running your business!
If
you have modern properties and your tenants are all
professional people with tenancy agreements of six
months or longer getting insurance is fairly
straightforward and you can book this online.

If
you have DHSS claimants, asylum seekers, or students
as tenants or your properties stand empty for long
periods the risks are greater and most insurance
companies refuse to even consider quoting for cover
but Insurance Choice have a good record of obtaining
cover at a reasonable cost for difficult cases; you
cannot buy cover online because every case is
different but you can ring them for about
