Is Landlord Insurance Worth Having?
Landlord insurance provides financial protection that can compensate for loss, damage or injury to a third party and your property. You are not legally obliged to take out insurance when you let our a property, although you should check with your mortgage provider should you have one.
Whilst we’re dedicated to finding you the perfect tenant by carrying out all the necessary checks, we still recommend that you consider taking out a policy to protect your investment against any unexpected events.
