Chortlepuss Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Has anyone had a particularly good experience of UK Landlord's insurance, and if so could you let me know name of insurer? I am renewing my insurance - currently with Equity Red Star Landlord's policy and tempted to stay with them as I've got a fair quote and insurers policy cover seems much of a muchness..... but it's hard to tell how good they would be if you needed to claim (obviously one hopes never to do this) Many thanks for any suggestions!:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hi I have worked with Equity Red Star and can confirm that they are very fair and quite traditional in their methods of dealing with claims. Always make sure you ready through the policy that is being offered as NOT ALL POLICY ARE THE SAME and usually the cheaper the policy usually means the less cover you are provided. Watch out for possible future tax changes in the UK which may make small scale short term landlord duties much less attractive. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher1 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Not a recommendation but the Telegraph has a 'property club' You can find it by googling landlords property club and join free online. They have a lot of tips for landlords, accidental or otherwise including a page which highlights the different risks you may want to think about insuring against. Quite helpful I thought.

Guest Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I always arranged mine through Simplybusiness.co.uk - really good for comparing policies and easy to administer your policy online once you have it. I had a couple of different insurers, Zurich was one, can't remember the others. Never had to claim though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joob joobs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Mines is arranged via Letsure. I've never had any problems with them... but on saying that I've never had to make a claim. I arranged my contents insurance via Letsure back when I was a tenant too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
