Often, yes: legal expenses cover is commonly offered as an optional add-on to landlord insurance, although availability and terms vary between providers. It may help with certain insured disputes, such as possession proceedings, rent recovery or disputes with tenants, but policies usually include conditions, exclusions, excesses and financial limits. You generally need the cover in place before a dispute or other legal issue arises, and the insurer may need to approve a solicitor or claim before costs are incurred. Compare the wording carefully and, for advice about a particular dispute, speak to a solicitor regulated by the SRA or your FCA-authorised insurer.
