Richlist Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 My recommendation is don't bother with it. Surely all you need is buildings insurance & rent guarantee insurance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely all you need in buildings insurance & rent guarantee insurance ? Yes that's what I'm looking for. Many landlords are non UK residents seems many insurers are refusing to insure them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 If you are overseas then you presumably have a lettings agents that manages the property for you. Why can't they arrange the insurances for you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev M Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I use Direct Line for buildings insurance and my agent covers my Rental Guarantee part. Agee with Richlist if having trouble ask your agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melboy Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I'm with Direct Line Landlord's Insurance as for me the insurance covers everything I require to operate especially if it all goes belly up for any reason. I have never claimed before but the test of course is how any insurance company deals with a bona fide claim if it should happen. All my property insurances are due on the same day........31st March. That hits the bank balance I can tell you. I wouldn't recommended it. 😀 and it all happens next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev M Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Ouch Melboy that timing is not the best I do take the landlord Rent Guarantee with them also even though i have with the agent (Just in case). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I suggest the timing couldn't be better... It's 5 days before the end of the tax year. It's best to have all of your allowable expenses right at the end of the tax year for maximum benefit. Any bills, regular expenses maintenance & repairs etc.....you've got 9 days to spend and claim in this tax year. Don't delay....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abelcermak Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 What should the landlord's insurance cover? I want to get one too, but I don't know what to pay attention to. There are so many offers on the market, and I cannot tell for sure which one is better than the others. I asked my claims advocate, and he told me to choose the one that would offer the most options. Can you suggest good landlord insurance in the UK now? And can I just go to an agency I like and ask them if they provide this kind of service? Or should I look for a specialized agency? And how much do you pay per month for this insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've never bought so called 'landlord insurance' in the 23 years I've been letting property. The only insurance I bother with is buildings and rent guarantee......the rest is totally unecessary......in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
