Landlord Insurance

Whether you're renting out your former home, a buy-to-let property or you want to protect a portfolio of rental properties, having proper Landlord Insurance is hugely important.

Standard home insurance doesn't offer the full level of protection and in many cases is null and void if your property is a commercial venture as it doesn't cover public liability. Additionally, many buy-to-let mortgage providers won't lend to a landlord without comprehensive insurance.

Landlord Insurance can protect you from losses such as property damage, tenant liability, loss of rent, and legal fees.

What does landlord insurance cover?

Landlord insurance covers a wide range of standard risks associated with owning a rental property (or properties) and the risks you need to cover will directly relate to the final cost of your insurance premium.

The most common standard risks for landlords in Northern Ireland are:

• Public liability risks up to £2 million
• Buildings insurance to cover all damage to your property
• Fixtures and fittings insurance to cover damage or loss of furniture or other essential items
• Boiler breakdown cover
• Floor coverings including wooden floors, laminates, linoleum, carpets and tiles
• Alternative accommodation for your tenants - if your property is unusable by your tenants, your Landlord Insurance can cover alternative accommodation

Additionally, you may wish to consider bolstering your level of cover with:

• Employers' liability insurance - protect your rental property business from claims made by employees or contractors  
• Legal expenses - covering you in the case of legal disputes and protecting your rights as the property owner
• Malicious damage or theft by tenants
• Rent guarantee - covering you in the case of your tenant failing to pay rent to you
• Loss of rental income - covering you in the event that your property is uninhabitable and therefore not generating income
