Building And Contents Insurance In Brighton

One of the major concerns when it comes to renting a property is always about what happens when a tenant stops paying their rent. Sometimes a scenario that is over looked, is ensuring that you have the right buildings and contents insurance in place to act as a safety net should this “worst case scenario” come into play.

At Belvoir Brighton and Hove, our job is not just about putting properties on the websites; it is about offering market leading advice, support and services to ensure you have the best, stress free experience when it comes to renting your property. As part of this service, we will always ensure that you have the correct insurance in place prior to a tenancy commencing. Even though you may have block insurance in place, if you rent out a flat in either a multi-purpose or converted block, this may not be the right cover should issues arise within your property.

We work with a company called Let Alliance, who are specialists in offering tailored and personable products to landlords to ensure that their asset and investment is protected. Through taking out Building and Contents Insurance with Let Alliance, you will have a bespoke product to help, should things not go as planned:

Landlord Rent And Legal Protection

Through years of experience in the rental industry, our local letting agents in Brighton & Hove are aware that unfortunately, sometimes things don’t always go to plan. Despite all the best planning and references circumstances can change; it is always prudent to ensure you have the right protection and cover in place for yourself and your property.

To protect your investment and ensure that you are not left short should you not receive any rental payment, we recommend all our clients to have some rent and legal protection in place. We have been working with a company called Let Alliance for a number of years, who are able to offer a tailor-made insurance package to suit the rental market.

We will always do everything we can to ensure that we find the right tenants and not just the first tenants, but sometimes unforeseen circumstances can change during their tenancy. This could be for many reasons, such as a relationship separation, redundancy or severe illness which may mean despite all their best intentions, being able to pay the rent may not be possible. We want all our clients to have the best cover and to make sure they are protected should these circumstances occur.

Through having the right Rent and Legal protection in place, you could avoid excess costs to obtain possession through the courts, protect your income and get professional and timely advice to ensure the process is completed as quickly as possible.

  • Full rent protection for the monthly rent for up to four tenants, as per tenancy agreement
  • Rent paid up until vacant possession is obtained with no time limit and regardless of when the fixed term ends

This can be paid monthly, annually or every six months. This is a bespoke and tailor-made cover to ensure that you can relax should the worst-case scenario happen.
