Buy-to-let insurance risk warning

With buy-to-let investments becoming an increasingly attractive proposition for consumers, Sainsbury’s Bank is encouraging landlords to ensure they are adequately covered.

With figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders showing that the number of buy-to-let mortgages has increased to 21 per cent, there are also now believed to be more than three million privately rented properties in the UK.

With the properties being worth a collective £510 billion, landlords are being advised in the strongest terms to ensure that they take out a comprehensive insurance policy.

Sainsbury’s Bank policies ensure against rental income of up to £20,000, while also providing contents cover of up to £40,000.

“It’s therefore important for landlords to pick a good home insurance policy to protect their investments,” he added.
