Your residential and commercial landlord clients need our landlord protection for peace of mind.

CONTACT US

We specialise in residential and commercial landlord protection for private landlords who own large or small, vacant or occupied, short or long-term let, single or multi-location properties.

Whether your clients have an expanding portfolio of commercial properties or just one to several residential homes, our specialist policies will provide the protection they need. We understand that being a landlord can be a rewarding business, but it also comes with unforeseen risks – and hidden costs.

“The private rented sector is now the second largest tenure in England, so it’s essential that landlords are protected from the pitfalls of property damage or neglect. With the cost-of-living crisis, rent arrears are also a growing concern for landlords."

"Our policies are designed to give your clients peace of mind that they have legal and rental income support should a tenant issue arise.”

Peace of mind if legal issues arise

Legal costs can quickly escalate and some of your clients may not have the resources to pursue potentially lengthy and expensive legal proceedings against a tenant. That’s where Irwell can help.

Our landlord’s legal expenses allows your clients to pursue or defend their legal rights and provides invaluable legal advice throughout proceedings. Likewise, if a tenant has taken them to court for breach of contract or has damaged the property, our insurance will cover the associated legal costs.

That’s why our legal expenses insurance policies include access to a FREE LEGAL HELPLINE provided by our partners at Irwell Law. 

Residential property rental income protection

For your residential clients, our policy can extend to include rental income for added reassurance – whether the landlord is chasing rental arrears or pursuing eviction notice.

Rest assured, we’ve got your property clients covered.
