It’s very important to make sure you understand what you need from your commercial landlord insurance. Use the check points below to get you thinking.
- Is your property a leasehold? If so, check with the property manager whether you need to buy buildings insurance, as this is often already covered by the freeholder
- If you employ people, even in your own home, you’re legally obliged to purchase employers’ liability insurance.
- Make sure you read and understand any exclusions to your policy.
- Remember that conventional home insurance policies will not cover a buy-to-let property
- You should state the rebuild cost of your property, not its market value, if buying buildings insurance
