    I was looking for contents insurance yesterday and was on the Barclays website - I noticed they had a separate section for students/landlord insurance. Didn't look because it wasn't for me, but may be useful??

    (and Quidco offer a potential £125 cashback for Barclays at the moment too)

    Yeh I phoned up Barclays but they don't cover students. Thanks for the note.

    Endsleigh may do it, they certainly used to 2 years ago.

    You will really need to see an insurance broker for this and get a commercial property owners policy.
    Many firms are reluctant to touch properties let to DSS / students. I know we have a few on the books but that is only because they are part of a much larger property portfolio. Since our minimum premium is £5k I won't bother to name my employer.
  • Vasek insure properties that are rented to students. Their website is https://www.vasek.co.uk - not sure if they are broker exclusive though

    As previously stated, most insurers will not touch student lets and premiums are not cheap!!!
  • Vasek insure student let properties, their website is https://www.vasek.co.uk but not sure if they are broker exclusive.

    As previously stated, most insurers won't even look at student let properties and unfortunately premiums are unlikely to be cheap
