Content Insurance â A Favourable Option for Landlords!
Property owners must get building insurance in order to protect their property against fire or theft. Besides this, they must also ensure they take necessary precautions to protect the possessions or content in the building. You might be storing valuable property in the building. In case of an untoward incident like fire, theft, you are likely to lose the property. It would be wise to protect the property with an insurance cover. Content insurance for landlords can prove an excellent means of protecting the contents of the building.Â
The unique feature of this kind of cover is it is available for both buildings and content. It covers two prominent aspects of property. Besides the property, it is very important to protect the content in the building if you wish to avoid suffering heavy losses. Content insurance holds significance for landlords. Keeping the content protected must figure out high on priority list of landlords. Failure to do so will result in heavy losses.Â
It is likely that the building policy may not cover internal belongings such as carpets, wooden floor coverings, refrigerator, cooker, washing machines, curtains, window blinds. Fire, theft or any natural calamity, can damage property. Content insurance for landlords comes in handy in this direction. You can look online to choose from various quotes available. While choosing a cover, you must look into various factors such as what is covered under the policy. Â
Some landlords are under the assumption that their tenants are responsible for insuring contents. This is true with reference to the fact that tenants are responsible to take out cover only for the contents that belong to them. Content cover is a must if you are renting out a property on an unfurnished basis. You may have several valuable items that may require insurance. Carpets, curtains, refrigerator, cooker, oven, heating systems etc. are generally found in unfurnished rental property. It is the responsibility of the landlord to protect such items. If you were to lose these items due to theft or fire, the loss would be immense. Getting a cover for such goods prevents any kind of financial loss. Landlords insurance policy must cover contents that belong to the landlord. Contents insurance for landlords can include a public liability provision. This provision covers a landlord in the likely event of a personal injury claim which results from an accident or injury caused by defective appliances and fittings, loose carpets and so on.
House insurance (building and contents). How can I get my £70 ?
I asked for a quote on the net for Buildings and Contents Insurance. They promised £70 Cashback if they could not match my existing policy. They are more expensive. Have requested my £70……. but E mailes are returned as “undeliverable”. What do I do next ? This must happen lots of times. Help please.
If you know the name of the firm try and find them on the FSA register www.fsa.gov.uk/register – that will have contact details.
If the firm is NOT on the FSA register then they are committing a criminal offence and you should report them to the FSA.
Once you have the contact details and made contact, if they will not pay you the £70 then you should
1) Instigate their complaints procedure (which they must have by law)
2) Report them to the FSA for misleading financial promotions.
