Written on November 10, 2011 – 2:15 pm | by admin

As the landlord of a building you are responsible for the upkeep of the property and ensuring that it stays in a habitable and livable condition. You always hear of horror stories that some tenants find when they first enter a rented building however simple maintenance can go a long way in avoiding being tainted with this brush. Having the correct building insurance as well can make sure that your property is kept in first class condition.

Students are usually the group of people who rent the most as they never usually stay in the one place for any length of time and do not want to enter into any long term housing agreement when their financial situation is often insecure. It is often well known that student flats can be the ones that have the most damage done to them and need the most repairs come the end of the agreement. If you have proper building insurance (and Just Landlords can provide this) then you won’t have anything to worry about when it comes to expenses. Their landlord insurance packages can offer up to £5000 for the price of white goods and the likes of carpets etc… as well as these are often the items that receive the most wear and tear.

Furthermore, it can also cover the theft of contents by your tenants. This sort of thing happens far more often than you would think and some people try and steal the furnishings in the flats or houses that have been provided on behalf of the landlords. If this does happen to you then with a proper amount of cover you can claim the value of the goods back with little or no expense to yourself. Building insurance and its importance cannot be overstated and it is imperative that you are covered against all eventualities.
