INSURANCE FOR TENANTS AND LANDLORDS - HELPING YOU TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY

Castle Estates is regulated by the FSA for general insurance sales through relationships with partner insurers who will provide advice and assistance in the purchase of Insurance products related to the Property Management and Letting Industry direct to our clients.

We will arrange for one of our partners to contact you but this is strictly on a no obligation basis and there is no obligation on you to have the protection of any of these products which include:-

Tenants Contents Insurance

You might be surprised to know that your landlord cannot be responsible for insuring your possessions, or that you could even be liable for any damage you cause to your landlord's goods. We can offer you a solution to this with a specifically designed Tenants Contents insurance policy which will cover you for accidental damage to any of the Landlord's goods and will also provide you with insurance in case you cause any harm or damage to another person or their property.

Landlord Rent Protection and Legal Expenses Insurance

Tenants' circumstances can change and even the best references in the world cannot predict what lies around the corner. Wouldn't it be great to remove some of the worry of your tenant not paying the rent? We can offer Landlords a policy to protect their rent and also pay any legal expenses incurred if action has to be taken action against the tenant.

Landlords Building & Contents Insurance

Finding specialist insurance for rental property can sometimes be a challenge. All too often, landlords find their property is not adequately covered by standard insurance policies. We can offer you a Landlords Household Insurance which provides comprehensive property insurance solely for the rental market.

If you would like a quote for any of the above products please contact our office direct.
