Being a landlord should not mean losing sleep over unpaid rent or unexpected legal disputes. Even with the most thorough tenant vetting, unexpected changes in a tenant’s personal or financial circumstances can happen, putting your rental income and your investment at risk.
At James Gorey Estate Agents, we believe in providing a reliable safety net for your rental business. Our comprehensive Rent Protection and Legal Expenses Insurance offers up to £100,000 of cover per insured incident. This specialized policy ensures your cash flow remains secure and your legal rights are fully defended, allowing you to manage your portfolio across Sidcup, Dartford and Abbey Wood with total confidence.
Unmatched Rent Protection
Stop worrying about missed payments. This policy is designed to step in and safeguard your monthly income when the unexpected happens, keeping your cash flow protected from start to finish.
-
High Monthly Limits and Referencing: The policy covers rental income of up to £8,000 per calendar month, provided the tenant has passed a satisfactory reference or met the specified affordability criteria from the start of the tenancy.
-
Nil Excess for Prompt Reporting: If a claim is notified within 30 days of the first missed rent payment, a nil excess is applied to the claim. It is vital to note that all claims relating to unpaid rent must be reported within a maximum of 60 days of the rent becoming due and payable to remain eligible for cover.
-
Day-One Protection: The policy covers the first month's rent if it remains unpaid after the keys have been formally issued to the tenant.
-
Continuous Arrears Cover: You are indemnified for rent due from the very first instance of arrears right up until vacant possession of the property is successfully secured.
-
Post-Possession Void Cover: If a former tenant leaves the property damaged and it cannot be re-let immediately, the policy pays up to 3 months of rent following vacant possession. This is paid at 100% for the first month, 75% for the second month, and 50% for the third month.
Comprehensive Legal Cover
Legal disputes can be incredibly costly, complex, and time-consuming. This policy provides the expert backing and financial support required to defend your rights as a landlord.
-
Evictions and Repossession: The policy covers the legal costs of pursuing vacant possession following a breach of the tenancy agreement or for rent arrears. To benefit from this cover, the property must be let under, and be compliant with, a recognised tenancy agreement framework, such as an assured periodic tenancy or standard occupation contract.
-
Rent and Damage Recovery: The policy will legally pursue the tenant to recover any rent owed to you, or to recover costs if they are responsible for causing physical damage to the let property or its contents.
-
Contract and Property Disputes: Receive expert legal backing to pursue or defend an alleged breach of contract for goods, repair, maintenance, or renovation services for the let property. It also covers pursuing third parties for a legal nuisance or trespass affecting the landlord's rights over the property.
-
Professional Defence: The policy covers the costs of representing you in an HMRC investigation into your commercial tax affairs, and defends the landlord's legal rights during a police interview or prosecution for a suspected criminal offence.
-
Court Attendance Covered: If you are required to attend court for a claim under this insurance, the policy provides up to £1,000 in witness expenses to cover lost salary or wages.
