Redress Scheme

All Letting Agents must be a member of a redress scheme, with a laid out complaints procedure, should you feel the need to make a formal complaint. We hope this would never be necessary. But should you be unhappy with part of our service, you must first follow our internal complaints procedure, which is available upon request. If you are not satisfied with our response then we are members of the The Property Ombudsman approved by the Trading Standards Instituite (TSI), which gives our clients a free, fair and independent service for dealing with any unresolved dispute that might arise.

Landlords Insurances

Many landlords don’t realise they need specialist Landlords Insurance to cover rental properties. General home buildings and contents insurance isn’t adequate to cover you for all third party risks that you could encounter as a Landlord. Having specialist Landlord Insurance ensures you limit your exposure to risk, protecting your financial well-being. For the best Landlords Buildings, Contents & Rent Guarantee & Legal Expenses Insurance, we recommend our Insurance Partner, Rent4Sure. We work in partnership with Rent4Sure, they provide our landlords with a specialist insurance product designed to cover what you specifically need as a landlord when renting your property. Rent4Sure can protect you against;

Fire, theft and flood

Malicious damage by tenants and guests

Subsidence, landslip or heave

Loss of rent or alternative accommodation cover following on from an insured claim

If you would like to speak to Rent4Sure directly, please contact our office and we can request a call back from a landlords’ insurance expert at a time that suits you.

They also offer a Rent Guarantee Insurance policy that is subject to your potential Tenants passing Credit & Reference Checks and some restrictions apply. Contact Us for more details.

Landlord’s Buildings & Limited Contents Insurance

You will need to make sure you have the correct buildings insurance cover for your rented property as some buildings insurers don’t cover rental property. We would also recommended that you take out a limited amount of Contents Insurance to cover your carpets, tiled floors, curtains, doors and kitchen units, etc. that are left in the property, as your Buildings Insurance alone may not cover these.
