We currently write up to £1M buildings and £100,000 contents on our standard and non standard household product. Properties with larger sums insured can be written on our mid-high net worth product.

Residential Let

Cover for Trace and Access is included in all of our let policies: Residential Let – £1,000 Commercial Property Owners – £10,000

£5,000 worth of contents is given free for professional/retired let tenants under our Residential Let scheme.

Typing £5,000 into the contents box when getting a quote will just mean that the system will give the cover for free, you won’t ‘double’ the cover and end up with a sums insured of £10,000. If you leave the box as £0 that’s fine too, the system will automatically add you £5,000 worth of free contents cover where applicable.

Commercial Property Owners

Yes, our commercial property owners scheme allows you to add any number of properties to a quote. Just click the add button on the Premises Specific Cover page to add a new property.

We can write unoccupied residential or commercial property via our online trading platform. We offer either FLEA or full cover and can provide 3 and 6 month policies if required.
