Contents Insurance when letting

Hi,

I've just moved out of my flat and am now letting it out. Does anyone know the situation (and best places to go) to insure the stuff I've left there (it's fully furnished).

Thanks!

    Make sure your building policy covers BTL or find one that does. In the event of a claim, your contents could be the least of your worries:eek:

    Aslo, does your mortgage allow you to let it out?

    The Contents insurance is up to your new tenants. Its the buildings insurance you need to worry about!
