Review your insurance to protect your investment
With any property investment comes a level of risk, which is why it is important to ensure that you have a good insurance policy to cover your biggest assets should anything go wrong.
Life doesn’t always go according to plan and a good policy will cover anything from rent arrears to property and malicious damage, pet incidents and overall building cover.
Once you’ve taken out the policy, you may think that it is a set and forget scenario and you won’t need to worry about it again for the time that you own the property, however there are some considerations like the sum insured, the type of coverage and the amount of coverage that is held over the property.
