Landlord Household Policy

Hello,
We have a small flat worth approx. £100,000 now rented out. The Landlord insurance (seems to be a flat £1 million cover which seems excessive) is £145 plus the Agent's fee of £15. Can anyone advise if this is competitive? I always do a few comparisons for our private household insurance but not sure about this more commercial type insurance.
Thanks

  • What kind of flat?

    Say your tenant manages to blow up the flat due to some gas accident for example how many flats upstairs/downstairs/sideways is that likely to impact?

    The premium is probably bedroom-rated not calculated on the sum insured, so the premium for your £1m cover isn't going to half if you ask for £500k instead.

    What does the insurance cover?

    I would expect buildings cover to be taken out by the management company.
