Landlord Contents Insurance
Get £1.5 million cover for your contents as standard.
What does Contents Insurance cover?
Contents Insurance can cover you for up to £1.5 million of damage to furniture, fixtures, and fittings that don’t form a permanent part of your property’s structure.
Contents Insurance is for residential landlords with a furnished or part-furnished property.
It covers you against the cost of repairing or replacing damaged furnishings and furniture. If you also want to cover accidents, you can add Accidental Damage Cover to your policy.
For example, Contents Insurance covers free-standing items like fridges, freezers, washing machines, tables, beds, sofas, and cookers. It also includes damage to floor coverings, including carpets, lino, and laminate floors.
If you already have Buildings Insurance, you can add contents cover to protect any furniture or household items you’ve left for your tenants to use.
You can only take out Contents Insurance on its own if you’re letting to residential tenants.
What else does Contents Insurance cover?
- Floor coverings up to £5,000 (you can increase it)
- The cost of re-housing your tenants if the property becomes uninhabitable
- Costs for replacing locks, debris removal costs, loss of oil, and metered water
- Malicious damage and/or theft by tenant cover (damage which can’t be recovered from a security deposit, up to £10,000)
- New-for-old Contents Insurance
- Unlimited glass cover
