INTRODUCTION

What is Residential Property Insurance?

Residential Property Insurance is a specialist policy that protects buildings used for residential purposes against a wide range of insured risks.

Unlike standard home insurance, which is intended for owner-occupied homes, Residential Property Insurance is designed for investment properties, leasehold developments, apartment blocks, and other residential buildings with more complex ownership or management arrangements.

Whether you own a single residential property or a portfolio of buildings, specialist insurance helps protect your assets and financial interests.

Why Residential Property Insurance Matters

These may include:

  • Fire, flooding, and storm damage
  • Escape of water

A specialist Residential Property Insurance policy helps ensure your building is adequately protected while reducing the financial impact of unexpected events.

Buildings Insurance for Residential Properties

Buildings Insurance forms the foundation of most Residential Property Insurance policies.

Cover can help protect:

The building structure
Roofs, walls, and foundations
Permanent fixtures and fittings
External structures
Car parks and access roads
Boundary walls and fencing

If your property suffers damage following an insured event, the policy can contribute towards repairing or rebuilding the structure.

Property Owners' Liability Insurance

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises for tenants, residents, visitors, and contractors.

Property Owners’ Liability Insurance can provide protection if someone suffers injury or property damage connected to your building and makes a claim against you.

Claims may involve:

  • Slips or trips in communal areas
  • Defective maintenance
  • Falling masonry or roof tiles
  • Unsafe pathways
  • Building-related accidents

Liability cover can help protect against legal costs and compensation claims.
