Never used the insurance but it's there if you need it.

I use this

Some letting agents include this in their fee ... my old one did but I never saw the policy so have no idea of the quality of cover.



As above may include rent and legal cover ... check you agreements ...
Thanks for the recommendation. I haven’t heard of Alan Boswell but did recommend landlord insurance a few times years back which fell on deaf ears.

The main issue was the one month deposit from a 10 year old rental value. She got greedy after a few years and took on the tenants directly without updating the deposit and paid the price. Very much a horse to water issue so I stay out of it.
