Vicky in Lettings is very professional. She went the extra mile to find me a suitable tenant. Nothing was ever too much to ask, she was always ready, and willing, to assist.

While not legally required, many landlords strongly recommend or even require it in their tenancy agreements. Regardless of requirements, tenant insurance is a wise investment to protect your belongings and provide liability coverage during your tenancy.

Premiums typically start from just a few pounds per month, depending on factors like your location, the value of your belongings, and the level of coverage you choose. Our sister company Bode Insurance Solutions offer competitive rates with flexible payment options.

Most standard policies have per-item value limits. Valuable items like jewellery, electronics, or musical instruments over a certain value may need to be listed separately on your policy. Your advisor can help ensure your high-value items are properly covered.
