tlc678910 - I cannot make or receive calls during weekdays and have a poor signal at home. Besides, I prefer to check things out online first, as I take in information much better that way. Then, I would phone if I had questions. But, I can't even get that far. You say phone the company - ok, any suggestions as to which one to try? Not all seem to do it, and I don't have time to trawl the entire market, one insurer at a time. Is there a comparison site for landlord insurance like there is for buildings/contents insurance? That would be so much easier. I may not get the absolute best deal, but I could see what different things are available, automatically included (or not) etc. That would make me aware of cover that I hadn’t considered before but that could be useful to have. I would rather learn what I don’t know that way, than the hard way.

Im the same, I prefer having something in front of me to read over a few times to make sure I take it all in, rather than listen to someone ramble through the insurance spiel over the phone and potentially miss something important.


A quick google search of landlord insurance comparison brings up moneysupermarket, Go Compare and Compare the Market all offering what you are looking for. I have never used it myself so couldn't comment on how good/relevant/comprehensive they are. Direct Line also regularly advertise on TV/radio for landlord insurance and I don't believe they are included in comparison sites.

The telephone number on my document is Commercial Insurance: 0845 640 5945

Given the new FCA regulations that came into force on 26 October 2015, this 0845 number is likely to have changed to the 0345 equivalent.

While I thank contributors for their advice, it is a shame that some people are so judgmental on here. Why jump to (incorrect) conclusions about facts not in evidence?.........AJ

What training have you done as a landlord or what books on the subject have you read, please?? I could jump to conclusions but please save me the effort by letting us know, if you would, please.

Cheers!
