Landlords taking out Buildings insurance will now also receive up to £7,500 of Contents cover for damage which affects the property at the same time as standard.

Contents insurance protects against damage to possessions inside the property. This is particularly important if a property is let on a furnished basis. Tenants still need to take out their own contents insurance.

Landlord buildings insurance includes up to:

• £500,000 cover as standard to rebuild (more available)
• £30,000 for alternative accommodation and/or loss of rent
• £5 million public liability cover
• £1,500 accidental damage cover for windows, solar panels, bathroom fixtures, ceramic hobs or underground service pipes or cables
