Buildings & Contents / Landlord Cover

When it comes to protecting your home, having adequate insurance coverage is essential. Here’s what you should know about Buildings & Contents / Landlord Cover:

  1. Coverage Details: Home insurance provides coverage for repairing, rebuilding, or replacing your home and its contents in the event of damage or destruction.
  2. Repair and Rebuilding Costs: If your home suffers damage or destruction, the costs of repair and rebuilding can quickly add up. Without insurance, you would be responsible for covering these expenses out of pocket.
  3. Contents Replacement: In addition to the structure of your home, home insurance also covers the replacement of your belongings. The average value of contents in a typical three-bedroom family home exceeds £50,000, highlighting the importance of contents coverage.
  4. Covered Perils: Home insurance typically protects against a range of perils, including:
  • Fire
  • Flooding
  • Storms
  • Subsidence
  • Theft
  • Trace & Access (Burst Pipes)


By securing Buildings & Contents / Landlord Cover, you ensure that your home and belongings are safeguarded against various risks, providing you with peace of mind and financial protection in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Landlord Insurance – Make sure your investment is protected

When securing a Buy to Let mortgage, your lender typically requires landlord insurance to protect your building against standard threats like storm damage, fire, and flooding. However, at Milestone Financial Ltd, we believe in going the extra mile to ensure your property investment is safeguarded comprehensively.

As a landlord, your property is not just a place to live but also a valuable investment. That’s why we always recommend full landlord cover for rented properties. While basic landlord insurance covers the building against common risks, there are additional considerations to bear in mind.

Unlike residential household policies, landlord insurance is tailored to the unique needs of landlords. While buildings cover remains essential, you may choose to include only basic contents coverage, and damage caused by tenants is typically excluded. However, as a landlord, it’s prudent to consider additional benefits such as Rent Guarantee Cover, Malicious Damage Cover, Legal Expenses, and Eviction of Squatters Cover.

As independent insurance brokers specialising in landlord insurance, we collaborate closely with you to tailor a policy that meets your specific needs. Our panel of insurers is carefully selected to include only those providers known for offering top-quality claims service. After all, your Buy to Let property serves as an additional income stream, so prompt settlement of any claims is crucial to minimise income loss.

With our tailored landlord insurance solutions, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property investment is comprehensively protected, ensuring minimal disruption to your income in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
