The buy to let home insurance provider that we recommend is Endsleigh Insurance, which you can access directly via the relevant link at the bottom of this page.

Another approach is to use 'mainstream' home insurers for buildings cover, turning to Endsleigh for buy to let home insurance contents cover only. This frees you up to take advantage of the power of price comparison sites to get low cost buy to let home insurance buildings cover; so saving you money in the process.

Of course buy to let home insurance (buildings cover) does differ slightly from private home insurance. In most cases a landlord will be looking for slightly more inclusive cover than the more basic policies at the lowest prices found by a price comparison system, given that this is a commercial enterprise.

Thus, even if Endsleigh is not used for the buy to let home insurance buildings cover, there is something to be said for going direct to a top home insurer where a more suitable level of cover is easier to find as standard. Prices for like policies vary little; so there is no great need to feel disempowered by not checking loads of quotes at once.

One problem with buy to let home insurance contents cover is that malicious damage from antisocial tenants is not covered. Often too, if tenants leave doors or windows unlocked, this renders the cover for any losses invalid. While these factors cannot be manipulated in terms of the choice of buy to let home insurance cover, they can be mitigated against by careful selection of tenants whenever new tenants come on board. To some extent this care is essential anyway, not just for reasons of common sense but because of the legal responsibility that a landlord has to ensure the lack of antisocial behaviour of his tenants.

However, some buy to let home insurance policies will help with costs of, for example, repossessing the property.

As the cheaper buy to let home insurance policies tend to have a rather high excess, along with, of course, somewhat 'thinner' cover, we advise against simply selecting the cheapest quote as, for instance, identfied through a price comparison site.
