Landlord's Insurance

Protecting your investment property and income

How do you best protect a property you own, but don’t live in? Choosing the occupants carefully helps, but even with model tenants, there’s no guarantee they’ll take care of things to the standard you’d like.

As a landlord, you need to reduce your vulnerability to vandalism, malicious damage, and theft. Not to mention lost rental income, should your property become unliveable because of major damage.

You also need protection from those unlikely, but still possible, risks like fire, lightning and storm damage, falling trees and unforeseen catastrophes.

With South West Credit’s Landlord Cover, you have peace of mind that you’ll be covered if you property is damaged or destroyed by specific events as set out in the policy wording.

Competitive, convenient cover backed by QBE
