What is Commercial Landlord Insurance?

Commercial Landlord Insurance is for landlords renting their property to a third-party business. For example, an industrial unit or shop, including when the premises is a mix of commercial and residential use, i.e. a shop with a flat above it.

Commercial properties are often built differently from residential properties and face risks that a residential landlord policy won’t cover, including heating systems.

With Commercial Landlord Insurance, you get the same benefits you do with residential cover, along with a choice of optional extras to suit your business needs.

If tenants are living at your property, you need a Residential Landlord Insurance policy, or if you have a mixed portfolio of residential and commercial properties, you need a multi-property policy.

What does Commercial Landlord Insurance cover?

A Commercial Landlord Insurance policy gives you cover for your buildings and contents. 

Buildings Insurance

If your property is unfurnished without contents, you can take out an insurance policy that covers your buildings only.

You can get up to £15 million buildings cover as standard.

Churchill offers up to £1.5 million cover for damage to furniture, fixtures, and fittings that don’t form a permanent part of your property’s structure.

You can only take out Contents Insurance separately if your building is occupied by residential tenants.
