Long let insurance

We work with Goodlord for comprehensive landlord insurance for long lets. This insurance policy covers unpaid rent – any damages made by residents are covered by a deposit we take from residents.

Goodlord offers a Rent Protection Service that covers your rent until the property is vacant again, including 75% of rental payments for two months after that, as well as up to £100,000 of legal expenses.

Do I need landlord insurance?

Landlord insurance is not a legal requirement but it protects you as a property owner from financial losses that might come with buy to let investments.

Buy to let insurance doesn’t normally cover the use of your property for short lets or Airbnb hosting, which means you need additional insurance.

We are fully insured, but you may need to have your own landlord insurance to protect your property, its fittings and rent payments.

Landlord insurance and Covid-19 

The Covid-19 pandemic has emphasised the importance of having insurance in place. The financial difficulties faced by renters during the pandemic led to several rules being introduced by the government in terms of the actions that landlords can take, for example with evictions.

Having property landlord insurance that includes rent protection means you can claim for the lost rental income and win time to come to an agreement with residents if necessary.
