    Helping you recover from a serious incident such as a fire or flood.
  • Protect you from being held liable for injuries sustained in your property
    Defending you and your reputation.
  • Shield you against damage caused by tenants, vandalism, and criminal damage
    Keeping you financially secure.

Landlord insurance can protect you and your properties if something goes wrong. It can help you recover from incidents like fires or floods, protect loss of rent whilst repairs are going on or if your property is vacant, and it can help defend your reputation if you’re held liable for injury or illness affecting your tenants. It can also cover costs if your property is damaged accidentally or maliciously. If you don’t have landlord insurance, you will likely have to pay for all of these costs yourself.
