House insurance if letting

GrizzlyAdams_2

I want to rent my house out while I am abroad for a year.

Anyone know where I can get an appropriate, and cheap, insurance?

My previous policy through the AA just ran out and the renewal quote is horrendous.

Cheers.

you need specialist insurance that dont load the premium due to the perceiceved extra risk of tenants.

Go to http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/tenantinsurance.htm

I use C&R and they seem to be good, it is important to decide whether you need to insure contents as well as buildings, if you are letting it unfurnished, contents will only cover carpets so not worth it.

Ta. The site is very informative. I was hoping there would be some way of getting a quote over the Internet, but there doesn't seemt o be..

Oh, and who is C & R?

Cheers.

The Abbey Piece of Mind (POM) product allows letting and is underwritten by Norwich Union.

Two for you to try.

C & R are a specialist insurance broker for homes that are let, you can find their link of the landlordzone site, I find Norwich Union were very picky and had high excesses.

Hi

I'm about to let my flat for the first time. Does anybody know of anywhere that will just do landlords contents insurance. Our buildings insurance is already sorted by our Management Company and they have no problem with me letting my flat. I'm leaving it furnished but as it's only small I only need about £5,000 of contents insurance. Any ideas?

Thanks

You can obtain contents only, or contents plus rent cover for let properties from Alan Boswell Insurance at:-

There is no minimum sum insured for contents but you have to be a member of a landlords association to qualify for the online schemes.

I can see their phone number on there, but not a link?
