Excess Protection Insurance in detail
As a property owner, it’s likely your insurance policies will have varying levels of excess.
For example, you may have to pay a standard policy excess of £250, but higher excesses may apply for escape of water, subsidence, and/or malicious damage by a tenant.
Excess protection insurance makes it easier to manage those costs, allowing you to make a further claim for the value of excess paid. It works alongside your normal property owners insurance policy and will cover the cost of your excess up to a pre-agreed limit.
- Low cost Available for £20-£80 a year.
- Multiple claims allowed For instance, if you choose an annual limit of £500, you could make two claims where the excess paid is £250; if you choose a £1,000 limit, you could make four claims for £250 excess per property. All values apply per property.
- High limits available Cover limits from £300 to a £3,000 during your period of insurance.
Cover is only available where we also insure the buildings. Excess protection cover must be purchased on all properties insured under the same property portfolio. This product is not available as a standalone option.
