Landlord Home Emergency Cover

The difference between these landlord plans is the level of cover provided for rental properties and the types of systems included.

Landlord Smart Boiler

Covers the boiler only, including breakdowns, servicing, and a CP12 certificate. It does not include central heating or other home systems.

Landlord Smart Heating

Includes boiler cover along with the central heating system, offering wider protection for heating-related issues in the property.

Landlord Smart Home

Provides more comprehensive cover, including boiler, central heating, plumbing, electrics, and drainage, helping landlords manage a wider range of home emergencies.

Landlord Smart Home Plus

Offers the most extensive level of cover. It includes everything in Landlord Smart Home, with additional protection for pest infestations and security & lock issues.

All plans include an annual gas safety check (CP12 certificate) and are designed to support landlords in maintaining essential home systems. Cover is subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions, and claim limits.

This type of cover does not cover accidents and general breakages of assets - for this, look at Content Cover. Also, Home Emergency does not include damage caused by general wear and tear, for example a boiler that has broken down due to it not being serviced or problems that have occurred simply due to the age of the product. If there is a leak that doesn’t cause damage to the property, it’s not an emergency and is excluded from the cover.

Home Emergency covers unexpected breakdowns to your boiler and central heating system, electrical breakdowns, blocked pipes, external locks, doors and windows, pest infestations and lost keys. Our prices are flexible so you can choose the aspects most important to you and adapt the cover to suit, ranging from Basic to our Premium cover. The higher the grade, the higher the annual claim limit will be and, from our standard cover upwards, you will also be eligible for alternative accommodation should your home become uninhabitable following a household emergency.

An emergency is a sudden and unexpected incident that impacts on your ability to go about your day to day life as normal. It is an issue that needs resolving urgently. If you were to lose your keys and couldn’t get into your own house, for example, you’d need to sort that out right away; if there was a sudden leak, you’d need to patch things up as soon as possible to avoid flooding and further problems that could make your home uninhabitable.

The only difference is the cover level and the excess amount.
