Landlord insurance in Bridport

Bridport's rental market is a rural Dorset one — older stone houses and flats in the market town, family and professional lets, with a holiday-let element toward West Bay and the coast.

Where the risks come from for Bridport landlords

Close to an exposed stretch of coast, the building itself takes the weather — storms lifting slates and damaging roofs on older stone properties, letting rain into the fabric, with the repair and lost rent on the landlord. Escape of water in old plumbing and holiday-let voids sit alongside.

A Bridport example

A landlord's older stone let lost roof coverings in an autumn gale and took water into the upper rooms before it could be made safe; buildings cover met the roof and internal reinstatement, and loss of rent covered the void while the work was carried out.

What landlord insurance covers

For a Bridport let, buildings cover at reinstatement value carries the storm and weather exposure, with loss of rent and property owners' liability alongside. Malicious and accidental tenant damage, contents for furnished and holiday lets, and unoccupied cover can be added.
