Buy to let contents insurance

Options
I've currently got BTL buildings insrance with NU Direct but am considering adding a BTL contents insurance policy. I would only need to cover £1000 to £2000 for the furniture and appliances. Can anybody recommend a provider?

    I know what you mean. I'm thinking about the possibility of the floods etc..
  • I decided not to cover my contents but when the tenant did a runner with most of them my deposit didn't come anywhere near covering them.

    I also found NU to be less than satisfactory on my claim for what i could get on the buildings side for the same claim

  • my fathers tenant trashed the house before she left, he had buildings cover and when the insurance agent came round to inspect as the property needed two new doors and a window he said the kitchen was covered as it was fitted and that was wrecked as well, the insurance company was "Spectrum Abacus" the years cover on a £70,000.00 buildings was £183.61 for this year.
    a please & thank you is all it takes :wave:
