Frequently asked questions

What insurance do letting agents need?
Letting agents need professional indemnity (a legal requirement for many redress scheme members), client money protection, public liability, employers' liability, and cyber insurance to protect tenant data.
Is professional indemnity mandatory for letting agents?
If you're a member of a redress scheme (mandatory since 2014) or a client money protection scheme, PI insurance is effectively required. Most schemes set a minimum of £1m cover.
What is client money protection for letting agents?
Client money protection (CMP) insurance safeguards landlords' and tenants' money held by your agency. It's a legal requirement in England for agents who hold client funds, and covers misappropriation or business failure.
