Searching For Property Portfolio Insurance
If you happen to be a landlord of numerous properties looking for insurance for buy to let property may take some time. With property portfolio insurance though, you may find that there is a simple one-stop shop solution.
Choosing multi property insurance may lead to you obtaining insurance for competitive premiums along with saving some considerable time.
That’s because a property portfolio solution may come with benefits to the insurance provider as well. It may mean less administration overheads for them and they may therefore be able to pass some of the savings onto you.
Reducing time and effort through a property portfolio insurance solution though may not be your only requirement when it comes to insuring your buy to let properties.
You may also be interested to see a landlords insurance quote which offers:
• protection, as standard, for damage to buildings as the result of subsidence - this is not necessarily a universal feature in policies these days and may be worth looking out for;
• you the option to choose for yourself the different types of tenant that you let your properties to - some policies may exclude students or DSS recipients from cover;
• landlords loss of rental income cover - this may provide you with compensation if your tenants have to move out of your property if it becomes uninhabitable after an insured event like fire or flooding;
• rental income guarantees may also be available to cover those circumstances where your tenants may disappear leaving rent arrears behind;
• a level of public liability cover (the amount that may be available if a member of the public were to sue you for damages) that you felt appropriate in today’s litigious climate - up to £5m may be available.
You may wish to consider too that if your property is unoccupied for extended periods of time, then you may need to revise its cover.
The actual time may vary depending on the policy you have with some requiring unoccupied insurance after 30 days, others 45 days or possibly 90 in certain circumstances.
This is typically necessary because when a property is empty the risks that it may face change:
• a problem which goes unnoticed may cause much greater damage that one which is fixed quickly;
• an empty property may possibly be more of a target for thieves and vandals; etc.
In short property portfolio insurance along with buy to let insurance may bring enormous peace of mind.
