Building insurance

The owner of your leasehold is likely to already have buildings insurance in place for your property. So if you are searching for a policy for a leasehold flat you may not need this type of coverage. Talking to specialist brokers can help you to understand if your leasehold owners offer complete coverage for this.

Landlords Liability insurance

This is specialist product for property owners. This type of proprietor insurance is particularly beneficial for renting buy to let flats. For example if tenants in your let flat resulted in damage to other properties in the same building you would be protected. Third party liability insurance if the tenant destroys the structure of the property. For example the windows or doors or the property and other items that would be typically covered by the buildings insurance.

Contents insurance

Even if your property is unfurnished you may still benefit from contents insurance. It may be possible that you need fixtures and fitting coverage for your leased property.
