Comparing policies
When comparing policies make sure you compare on a like-for-like basis. Many companies claiming to offer cheap insurance will do so by limiting cover and increasing excesses.
Most insurance policies (including ours) will have terms and conditions requiring you to have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement in place, regardless of whether you are letting to your friends, family, or strangers.
We guarantee to beat your renewal price
