Insurance for Buy to lets

The buy-to-let market has been incredibly successful for many people, who have bought properties, renovated them and then let them out for a reliable and steady additional income stream. Becoming a landlord does bring with it a number of challenges, though, and it’s important to go into the buy-to-let market understanding that you will have to devote a lot of time managing your new investment.

Part of that management is considering buying adequate buy-to-let home insurance. At Intasure, we understand how important it is to have cover that meets your needs, whether you’re a first-time landlord or have a number of properties.

If you own or are purchasing a buy-to-let property we can provide you with specialist buy-to-let property insurance that includes buildings, contents and public liability cover.

What does buy-to-let insurance cover?

Buy-to-let insurance is designed to provide you with a wide range of standard cover if you own and let a property. This cover includes but is not restricted to:

Buildings

  • Loss or damage to buildings caused by subsidence, heave or landslip and falling trees/branches, telegraph poles or lamp-posts.

  • Loss of Rent and Alternative Accommodation Expenses

  • Public Liability up to £2M

  • Contents of common parts

  • Accidental Damage cover included as standard

In addition, there are Optional Covers available in respect of:

  • Contents of Residential Units

  • Key Cover
  • Legal Expenses

What if the property is unoccupied for any length of time?

If your property is unoccupied for more than 60 days then you will need to talk to us to discuss whether your current buy-to-let insurance policy needs to be transferred over to an unoccupied property policy instead.

Do I have to have buy-to-let house insurance?

Buy-to-let property insurance provides similar cover to your household policy but is specifically designed to accommodate properties which are let to tenants. You may also find that your mortgage lender will specifically request that you have a certain kind of buy-to-let property insurance cover, especially if the property has been sold as a buy-to-let. Optional legal assistance and rent guarantee covers are also available to help further protect your investment.
