Discounted specialist insurance rates for let property, vacant property and tenants contents insurance. We also cover home contents / buildings, holiday home, and students contents. Low cost property cover.
The best way to explain what contents are is as follows: If it was possible to turn your house upside down, then anything that fell out would be classed as contents. It is worth noting that kitchen fitments including built-in appliances should be covered under the buildings policy, as is the case for bathroom fixtures and fittings, however, free standing cookers, fridges etc. that are not built-in should be included under contents. Carpets and laminate floors should be covered under contents, except where the laminate flooring (or real wood flooring) is actually nailed to the floor. In that case it should be covered under buildings insurance.
The minimum sum insured for this policy is £35,000. You cannot insure your property for less than that amount even though it may cost less than that to rebuild. The maximum sum insured on this policy is £500,000 however we have other insurance companies that can give competitive quotes for properties up to £5million. Please telephone 0800 311 2023, Monday - Friday, 9.00 am to 5.30 pm, and Saturdays 9.00 am to 1.00 pm for a quote. Our Front Line Advisors are waiting to help you.
This policy provides £2 million of landlord's liability cover. As a landlord it is essential that your policy includes this type of cover.

Also covered is the cost of repairing accidental damage to oil pipes, underground water supply pipes, sewers, drains, underground gas pipes and electricity cables. If you have taken out contents insurance then accidental damage is not included, however we would recommend that you make it a condition of your tenancy agreement that your tenants arrange contents insurance to cover their personal possessions.
