Rent & Legal Protection

Designed specifically to meet the needs of Landlords, to protect their rental income and to cover the cost of obtaining possession.

Did you know that we offer Rent and Legal Protection cover to give you peace of mind in the event that your tenant falls into arrears?*

No matter how exemplary your tenant may be, there is no knowing what the future holds. Like anyone, they could easily become unable to pay the rent, perhaps due to an accident, unemployment or illness.

A Rent and Legal Protection policy will cover:

  • Loss of rent of up to £5,000 per calendar month until vacant possession, for up to a maximum of 12 months' rent
  • The legal costs and expenses of a solicitor appointed on your behalf to regain possession of your property
  • Up to £50,000 for any one insured incident, including rental payments and legal costs
  • Up to £75 per day to cover the cost of alternative accommodation for a maximum of 30 days while the appointed
    solicitor seeks to obtain a possession order
