Specialist Home Insurance 
for your buy-to-let property

Anyone who is keen to rent out their property will find that buy-to-let insurance is a must. This specific type of cover, also known as landlord insurance, comes as part of John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance.

Take out our Specialist Home Insurance for your main home and you’ll find a host of extras are also covered, including your buy-to-let house or flat.

Why choose John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance to cover your buy-to-let property?

  • Home Emergency – We offer a 24 hour helpline to advise on domestic emergencies in your properties and will send tradesmen to your buy-to-let property in case of an emergency. We’ll also cover the cost of the call-out, labour, parts and materials up to £500.
  • New for Old – This covers possessions in your main home as well as those in your buy-to-let house or flat. The amount your contents are insured for must represent the cost of replacing them as new.
