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.
- Moving House – You’re covered for loss or damage when moving house, as long as the move is taken care of by a professional removal company. That means your possessions will be covered as you furnish your buy-to-let house with furniture and appliances.
- Business cover – Operating a buy-to-let business from home? Specialist Home Insurance covers up to £20,000 worth of business equipment and office furniture while in your property.
Two extra benefits that come with our Specialist Home Insurance...
As outlined above, many of the benefits that come with a Specialist Home Insurance policy can be transferred to buy-to-let properties as well. What you may not realise though is that this comprehensive cover also protects:
Students
Any members of your family who are studying and living away from home will find their possessions are automatically covered. Students’ belonging are all insured for up to £15,000.
Unoccupied houses
People can own unoccupied properties for all manner of reasons. Most frequently flats and houses are left unoccupied because they’re buy-to-let properties waiting to be rented out, or because they’re holiday homes. Whatever the reason, you’ll find unoccupied houses are covered by John Lewis Specialist Home Insurance.
