Frequently asked questions
- What insurance do landlords need in Brighton?
- Landlords typically need buildings insurance, landlord liability cover, loss of rent protection, and contents insurance for furnished lets. Legal expenses cover is also highly recommended.
- Does standard home insurance cover buy-to-let properties?
- No. Standard home insurance excludes rental activities. You need a specific landlord policy that accounts for tenants occupying the property and the associated risks.
- Is landlord insurance a legal requirement?
- While not legally compulsory, most mortgage lenders require buildings insurance. Employers' liability is needed if you employ anyone, and landlord liability is strongly recommended.
