Landlords Building Insurance | Landlords Contents Insurance
The chances are you'll have a very large amount of money invested in your rental property. This is an investment you need to protect, from insurance for fire to insurance for water damage; also, your mortgage company will insist you have Landlords Insurance on the buy to let property - a standard owners insurance policy usually will not protect you if the worst were to happen. By investing in Landlords Insurance from Informed Landords partnering with one of the UK's leading Insurance Groups, you can rest easy knowing that both you and your property are properly insured for both buildings and contents.
As a landlord the odds are that you have spent considerable amount of time and money on the property. Therefore, there are many reasons why you should use a landlords building insurance policy rather than standard household policy. The mainstream benefits obtainable under a standard household policy are seriously affected when the property is let and cover may end if you do not inform the insurer that the property is let.
Landlords building insurance can protect your capital investment and property from damages caused by fire and flood, and most importantly it can also help protect the income stream you receive through your tenants paying rent.
