Property Owners insurance (or Landlord insurance as it is also known) is designed to provide cover for the buildings and/or contents for properties that you own but let out to other people to live in, whether directly or via a letting agent.
Should you let your home out it is extremely important that you have the correct cover in place. The reason for this is that a standard buildings and contents cover will not cover you correctly and in fact Insurers would be well within their rights to refuse a claim outright.
