Landlord Insurance FAQs
We’ve put together a list of questions our team is typically asked, to help you find the answers you’re looking for.
Yes, landlords can insure multiple properties under one master policy and can take out cover with a single payment. Each property will also have its own individual policy reference number. This kind of policy for property portfolios is also known as multi-property insurance.
You can add or remove any new or existing properties on a pro-rata basis, as and when you require. When the time comes, renewing your portfolio can be a straightforward task, as all properties can be held under one annual renewal date. Insuring your properties this way may result in savings, both in terms of time and admin fees.
Although landlord insurance isn’t a legal requirement, many standard home insurance policies won’t cover you if something happens to your rental property. Therefore, specialist landlord insurance can provide more suitable cover. Plus, most buy-to-let mortgage lenders will ask you to take out insurance before your tenants move in. So, securing a tailored policy beforehand is a sensible move.
How much does landlord insurance cost?
There isn’t a fixed price for our landlord insurance. How much you pay can depend on the level of cover and various other factors, including:
- Your property type – the size and style of your property can affect the cost of landlord insurance. For example, your policy could cost more if you need cover for a 6-bedroom detached home instead of a 1-bedroom flat.
- Property location – some areas are deemed higher risk than others, which can inflate the price of landlord insurance.
- Rebuild cost of property – this is how much it would cost to rebuild your property from scratch. The higher the rebuild cost, usually means the more expensive your landlord insurance may be.
- Tenants – your tenants’ circumstances can affect the price. For example, if they are working, retired, students, or asylum seekers.
- Type of insurance cover – the more cover you require, the more expensive your policy could be.
- Levels of excess – if your policy has different excess levels, opting for a higher level of excess could reduce the overall premium.
