Ultimate Rent Protection
To help you sleep at night!
Our superb NIL Excess ‘Landlord Disaster Recovery’ policy ensures that you receive your rent, even if your tenant doesn’t pay. Legal Cost cover is also included.
What is Rent Guarantee?
Unfortunately, there are occasions when a tenant simply fails to pay the rent. A robust Rent Guarantee insurance policy ensures that the landlord still receives their rent, even if the tenant doesn’t pay.
The current economic volatility and unpredictability makes rent protection insurance an invaluable product. It not only ensures financial security for landlords but also can also help foster a healthier, less adversarial relationship between landlords and tenants.
Landlords without rent guarantee protection may be in for a shock! Those who do have cover can rest easy. For those landlords who don’t have cover, the implications can be awful, especially if there is a mortgage on the property and the rent is relied upon to help make the necessary loan repayments.

Landlord Insurance
Specialist Landlord Insurance
For complete protection
A specialist buy-to-let landlord insurance policy designed to meet your specific requirements for the unexpected.
Specific Landlord Insurance
Letting a property is a specialised business and needs specific landlord insurance cover.
If you let a property but just take out standard insurance in your own name, there’s every chance the insurance company will refuse to pay any claim and you will be out of pocket. Tenants these days are increasingly litigious, so you should be aware of your legal liabilities. If, for example, a tenant was injured by faulty wiring or tripped over a broken floor tile, they could sue for damages.
Our partners at Let Alliance have focused on developing a Landlord Buildings and Contents Insurance product that is tailored to meet your requirements, with innovative cover options that are not available with other insurance products. The inclusive benefits are detailed below.
