As a new landlord, there are lots of things to think about before your property is let – from painting and decorating ready for let, to buying furniture, to organising Energy Performance Certificates to having tenant checks carried out.
\nOften, one of the last things to be considered is landlords insurance<\/a>. Many landlords leave it at the bottom of the list of priorities but in fact, it\u2019s a vital purchase for every owner of a buy to let property. Many of the issues you could face as a landlord are specific to buy to let scenarios so if you don\u2019t have a specialist policy, you may not be covered. If a tenant damages your property accidentally or maliciously, you\u2019ll need a policy<\/a> to ensure you are covered. For example, a tenant may leave a hob on and damage the kitchen or a leak in the bathroom could mean tenants have to be re-housed while the problem is rectified. A good policy will cover the cost of this.
\nLandlord insurance should also give you the same basic cover as any home owners insurance \u2013 for example damage caused by natural disasters such as flooding.
\nIt\u2019s important to realise that every insurance package<\/a> is different so don\u2019t be tempted to go for the cheapest option without asking questions. The cost will be affected by many factors including whether the property is furnished or unfurnished and the area the property is in. Find out exactly what the policy covers by doing your research and speaking to the insurance provider if you have any queries.
