Has anyone had a policy with Finsbury Insurance? Very few companies will cover rent guarantee due to covid. I can't find any reviews for them. I'm a new landlord. Thank you for any help can give me

    Finsbury are not an insurer but a delegated scheme ("MGA") owned by Simply Business... not sure who the insurers are behind them these days but it used to be QBE and Axa. Some delegated schemes are basically the same as dealing an insurer whereas others are only involved in sales and all claims etc are managed by the insurer behind them. 

    Worth checking who the carrier(s) is/are as havent heard anything from them in a while.

    Thank you for your help. Info available says they are underwritten by HDI  Global and Great Lakes which are owned by Munich Re and Hanover Re. I have tried googling but I'm no wiser. Would I be  safer paying £200 per year more and going with Zurich??
