The Credit Crunch and Insurance
Insurance is, and always will be something that is reluctantly paid for. It is a distress product meaning that the true value is only realised in times of distress. Sitting there in your chair, you may not be distressed, you may be looking for the cheapest deal regardless of the cover because losing a home to fire, or storm damage tearing apart a roof are just things that you read about, not something that will ever happen to you.
In direct contrast to the prices of every day necessities, the cost of insurance has steadily declined over the last 2 years. Let property insurance, be it commercial or residential, has led the trend and is now at the lowest we have seen it for a number of years. The key to a good deal for your let property insurance is to balance good cover with a competitive premium. Too much focus on either one of those features can result in unnecessary cost to you. A focus on good cover can lead you to an unnecessarily high landlords insurance premium and too much focus on premium and lead you to a landlords insurance policy that provides very little cover.
There are, of course, a huge number of insurance companies, brokers etc that provide landlords insurance but very few that combine market leading cover with a market leading premium.
