Why get landlord insurance?

Let's talk about landlord insurance

What is landlord insurance?

Landlord insurance in Ireland is a must if you are a landlord and own properties for rental purposes. Whether you are a landlord with a single property or if you have a large property portfolio it is important to get covered. A typical policy will cover the buildings and contents, rental income and provide an element of liability cover for accidental damage. Try Paddy Compare and get quotes today.

Do I need landlord insurance?

Whilst landlord insurance is not required by law it is strongly recommended that you take out insurance in order to protect against the risks associated with renting property to tenants. A standard home insurance policy will not provide sufficient cover if you own and rent out your property. Often if you are taking out a buy to let mortgage the lender may require you to show proof of landlord insurance.

What does landlord insurance cover?

A landlord insurance policy will provide buildings insurance for your investment property covering the value of your property, contents insurance covering the value of your building contents, and cover for loss of rents. You will be usually covered for: fire; flood; theft and vandalism; accidental damage; replacement key cover; and boiler breakdown.

How much does landlord insurance cost?

The cost of your landlord insurance will depend on a range of factors to include: the age, value and construction type of your property; your property location - if you are in an area of higher crime then you will be at greater risk of theft and vandalism, or if you live close to a river you will be subject to higher flood risk; insurers will consider the type of your tenants and if students you may pay more; and your claims history will be considered.

How do I get cheaper landlord insurance?

The best way to get cheaper landlord insurance in Ireland is to compare prices and speak to a broker. There is also a number of other actions you could take such as: increase the security at your property in order to reduce the risk of burglary; don't pay for policy extras that you do not need; keep your property in good condition; try to ensure it is occupied as much as possible; and avoid making small claims on your policy instead of building up your no claims bonus.
