To obtain landlord insurance, providers commonly ask for your property address, construction and rebuild details, ownership information, tenancy type, expected rental income and claims history. You may also need documents such as a tenancy agreement, gas and electrical safety certificates, an Energy Performance Certificate and proof of identity, depending on the provider and property. Having accurate information ready can make comparisons easier, but leaving out relevant facts to reduce the price could affect a claim. Requirements and premiums vary, so check the FCA-authorised insurer’s terms and ask what evidence it needs before buying.
