Buy to Let Insurance

Can anyone recommend a good provider of Buy to Let Insurance?

If possible, i was hoping to buy my insurance through quidco or topcashback to keep the price down.

Thanks

    Think it would have to be Buildings and some contents.

    Alot of the main insuers do buy to let policies (most are just endorsed normal policies) however getting it through a cashback site would be tricky, as most would need to be arranged over the phone.

    most providers will do buildings only on a normal internet based plan. If you want a bit of contents then you are looking at a more limited range of providers and typically one that would not appear on quote portals or offer sites.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm fairly new to the buy to let market and was wondering if it's ok to let out my property with buildings insurance only?

    Yes it is. you only need contents if you furnish the property with some contents that you want insuring.
