RESIDENTIALlettings
provide exclusions within the small print and less cover whilst we concentrate on providing the best appropriate protection.
SM “Some landlords think that legal protection isn’t worthwhile because the courts will swiftly deal with non-paying tenants – are they right or wrong?” MR “In this current market, it is vital that landlords have legal expenses insurance, otherwise they could face substantial costs if they end up in court with a tenancy dispute. The numbers of court orders to evict tenants are up 11 per cent in the last year as landlords take a tougher stance. Rising rents and an unstable economy make it increasingly likely that a tenant could fall into arrears.”
WHAT’S NEW?
SM “Your products obviously reflect your view of what is currently needed in the market, but is there anything new coming to the market? MP “We are working closely with Experian
Our ambition is to become the
No.1 provider of choice for insurance and referencing services over the next three years.’
ON THE OTHER HAND
SM “Landlord repossessions are becoming more common and good, honest, paying tenants can be very badly affected. What about offering potential tenants the opportunity of referencing their potential landlord? Is this a crazy unworkable idea or a natural progression?” MP “It is a possible progression but there’s no real drive in this direction at present.”
to enhance referencing processes and data capture in establishing the next generation referencing for the future. We are also constantly looking at providing innovative insurance solutions to meet the needs of agents, their landlords and tenants and how these are cost effectively and compliantly delivered.
SM “And the final word?” MP “Our ambition is to be the No.1 provider of choice of insurance and referencing services to our target letting and managing agents over the next three years. We are already the provider of choice to many highly respected agents both with single and multiple offices and we look forward to working with many more. Watch this space!”
