Do you need Land Insurance?

 

Land Insurance provides essential protection against legal claims for negligence or liability related to the land you own. Also known as Land Liability Insurance, it safeguards you from third-party claims, whether it’s an injury on your property or damage caused by something like a falling tree affecting a neighboring property. In such cases, your policy will either dispute the claim or cover the costs if you are found liable.

To ensure your coverage is as comprehensive as possible, it’s important to inform us about any unusual features on your land. This includes development sites, private roads, trees, fences, rights of way, play equipment, ponds, rivers, animals, farming, sheds, swimming pools, and more. While these factors may have a small impact on the policy, they help us tailor the right protection for your specific needs.

Landlord insurance solutions designed for peace of mind when renting out your property

As a landlord, unexpected risks such as flood damage, burst pipes, or fire can arise, often beyond your control. Our specialist landlord insurance provides comprehensive protection, ensuring peace of mind when renting out your property. Whether you own a single rental unit, a student let, or a portfolio of high-value properties, we offer tailored coverage to safeguard your investment.

What is Landlord Insurance?

Landlord insurance is designed specifically for rental properties, covering both the building and its contents against risks that standard home insurance policies may not include. This protection typically covers damage from floods, fires, storms, and unexpected incidents like burst pipes, helping you manage potential financial losses.

Customizable Cover Options

To ensure complete protection, we offer a range of optional extras, including:


Flexible, Competitive Pricing


The cost of landlord insurance depends on factors such as property value, tenant type, and the level of coverage needed. At Fred Black Insurance Brokers, we take a personalized approach, allowing you to customize your policy with the options that best suit your needs—all at competitive rates.

Contents Insurance, financial security for the items that matter most to you.

Your home is filled with valuable possessions, and contents insurance ensures they’re protected against theft, damage, or loss. Whether you’re a homeowner or a tenant, our tailored contents insurance provides financial security for the items that matter most to you.

What is Contents Insurance?

Contents insurance is designed to cover the cost of replacing or repairing personal belongings inside your home if they are stolen, damaged, or destroyed. Unlike buildings insurance, which protects the physical structure of a property, contents insurance focuses on movable possessions—everything you’d typically take with you if you moved home.

If you rent a property, contents-only insurance is a great option, as your landlord’s policy will typically cover the building itself. However, homeowners may benefit from combining contents and buildings insurance into a comprehensive home insurance policy for added convenience and cost savings.

Additional Cover Options

Some policies include extra protection, such as:

Do you need Personal Possessions Insurance?

Your home contents insurance protects the valuables inside your house, but what about the items you carry with you every day? Personal possessions insurance provides cover for belongings outside the home, ensuring they’re protected against accidental loss, theft, or damage while you’re out and about.

What Does Personal Possessions Insurance Cover?

This type of insurance extends protection to valuable everyday items, including:

Do You Need to Insure Individual Items?

Insurance providers typically set a single-item limit, which is the maximum amount you can claim for any one item. If you own high-value possessions that exceed this limit, they must be listed separately on your policy, and you’ll need to specify that you want worldwide or out-of-home coverage.

At Fred Black Insurance Brokers, we help tailor your personal possessions insurance to ensure your valuables are fully protected wherever you go. Get in touch today to find the right cover for your needs!

Frequently asked questions

Avoid accidentally doubling up. Check you don’t already have cover for items like your phone or laptop. There’s no benefit to having items covered by more than one policy, as you won’t be able to claim twice.

Not always. Coverage depends on your policy, so it’s important to check the details. Some insurers may offer protection in certain situations, such as:
Lending a valuable item (e.g., a laptop or jewelry) to a friend or family member
Sending personal belongings for repair
Temporarily storing items outside your home
Moving house, where items are stored or transported by a removal company

Coverage varies by policy. Some insurers offer worldwide protection, while others only cover belongings within your country of residence. If you are covered abroad, there may be:
Time limits on how long you’re protected
Geographical restrictions (e.g., Europe only)

For extended trips or travel beyond your policy’s limits, consider adding extra cover or taking out travel insurance to ensure your belongings are protected.

Standalone personal possessions insurance—also known as "away from home" cover—may be available, but it’s typically offered as an add-on to home contents insurance. Speak to us to explore your options.

Yes, family members who live with you permanently are usually covered under your policy. However, it’s always best to check the details to ensure their belongings are included.
