Residential Property Owners Claims

Residential property owners may not be easily able to prevent damage to their properties as they are not in everyday contact with them. Here are some examples of residential property owner claims:

• During a spell of cold weather, the water supply pipe in a rented house’s loft space froze and then burst. The resultant escape of water damaged the ceilings and decorations. 
• A meter reader fell and injured himself on a poorly lit staircase in the common area of the premises and sued the landlord for his injuries.

It’s important that you have adequate residential property owners insurance to cover claims arising from your rental property – whether they be on the property itself or arising from a third party, as with the meter reader in the example above.

You can get a residential property owners insurance quote quickly and easily or if you prefer talk to an insurance broker to discuss your insurance needs further.

These are only examples. The circumstances of each claim vary and are subject to the terms and conditions of the policy wording
