Designed for long-term rental properties, our landlord insurance covers fire, earthquake, and tenant-related damage, including accidental or malicious acts. Policies include loss-of-income protection during repairs and optional multi-property coverage. We address gaps in standard policies, such as unoccupied periods and tenant criminal activity, ensuring landlords' investments remain secure.

Community Radio Insurance
Tailored for UK community radio stations, this policy includes low excesses, defamation coverage, and all-risks protection for transmission sites. Features interest-free instalments and employers' liability cover for volunteers. Our brokers' deep sector knowledge ensures policies address the unique risks faced by non-profit broadcasting organisations.
