![Is Your Buy To Let Property Income Protected?]()
If you're a landlord with one or multiple rental properties, it's more important than ever to ensure your investment is protected. Our rental guarantee insurance covers you for the non-payment of rent.
- Imagine your tenants suddenly lost their jobs and were unable to pay the rent for the foreseeable future.
- Do you have a mortgage/finance on the property?
- Are you reliant on this rental income to pay for other commitments?
If any of the above points relate to your circumstances, it is well-worth looking into the benefits of a rental guarantee insurance policy.
In the unfortunate situation where you have to evict a tenant due to non-payment of rent, there is strict legislation and legal process to follow. This can be time consuming and expensive:
- The average time between making a claim for eviction and achieving a repossession is 37 weeks!
- How much rent would you stand to lose during 37 weeks?
- Court costs can exceed £3,000.
- There may be repairs and maintenance required at the property once the tenants have been evicted. This again may prove costly.
