Management and insurance under one roof

Similar to home insurance, Landlord insurance is cover that protects the property for the major perils such as fire/flood/storm/theft, with added protection for perils specific to property that is rented.

High excess amounts are becoming increasingly common as providers drive down premiums to attract ever more price driven customers. We want you to be able to claim on the cover we arrange should you ever need to. Naturally, some claims warrant a higher excess than others but we will always discuss this with you before we arrange cover.

It's our duty to offer our landlords advice on landlord insurance to ensure you have the right protection in place should you ever need to claim. Having Protection Advisors in-house gives you access and advice on first class products offered by market-leading 3rd party insurance providers.

Do you know how long your insurance company permits your property to be vacant for? If you insure with us, we’ll manage this on your behalf so your cover remains valid and you spend less time on hold with your insurer each time we let your property.

Be it a burst water pipe, or a case of tenant arrears, our team of lettings experts will liaise directly with the insurance company to provide supporting documentation when you make a claim.

When was the last time you informed your insurance company of a tenancy change resulting in more people calling your property home? This may cause you a problem should you ever need to make a claim. We have a system in place that will take care of this for you.

We will also re-price for you at renewal stage for free, so that we can be sure you have the cover you need.

In some cases, yes. In order to give you a wide range of product options we have a panel of insurers who each have different underwriting strategies. Some operate a blanket £1 million limit of cover, while others provide an estimate which we will then check with you. The rebuild value can be found on the survey taken when you purchased the property.

It’s not a legal requirement to have Landlord Insurance, but it is a condition of your mortgage (if you have one). It’s also best practice for responsible Landlords because the cover protects both you and your Tenant.

Buildings insurance, property owners’ liability, trace and access, cover for keys and locks, alternative accommodation, theft or damage by tenants. Optional extras such as Legal Expenses cover are also becoming increasingly popular for Landlords seeking additional protection as the sector becomes more legally complex.

If you’re insured with us then you are covered for damages caused by the tenant. If you have not arranged cover through Ultralets then please get in touch with Jack who will review your policy for free. Want more information? Read our latest blog on the subject here.

We are able to offer this cover, combined with tenant eviction insurance. Unlike other providers, we have tailored our lettings process to increase the likelihood of a successful claim. However, there are certain requirements that must be met for this policy to be valid, so we will need to review each case individually to make sure the tenancy complies with the policy.

Along with the insurer that we place you with, we will be in touch with you around 30 days before your renewal date to discuss your thoughts and renew your policy.

Yes, our target to get all Landlords access to first class cover extends to your main residence as well.

While we would love to meet with you here at our office, we understand that our clients are busy people, that's why we've made sure that appointments can be conducted over the phone or via Microsoft Teams to suit your availability.
