How much insurance do you need?

When you take out Landlord Contents-Only Insurance, the amount you're insuring for should accurately reflect the cost of replacing your investment property's fixtures, fittings and any contents you provide for tenant use.

Otherwise, if you're under-insured, you will more than likely have to pay the difference  out of your own pocket.

Our insurance calculators can help avoid the chances of this happening by helping your estimate your investment property's contents' true value.
