Landlords Insurance: Residential
and Commercial
Since we have multiple landlord
insurance schemes available, we feel we should discuss them with you
Select the 'Houses' dropdown menu
and then specify what form of residential property insurance you require
- you will be taken to a form to request a call-back. That way we can
find out exactly what you need and obtain all the pertinent information
to provide you with a policy that meets your requirements.
The information below is a
general guide to what we offer.

although the owner may live worldwide (with a UK-based agent). We can cover: -

Multiple properties forming a
portfolio - no limit to the number: if you have a spreadsheet

We can also cover many
non-standard risks through our plethora of schemes.
On this scheme we
will quote for unoccupied property, subject to the terms below, but we
have many different schemes for unoccupied residential property that
will offer better cover. We also offer competitive rates for home
