Landlord insurance in Luton
Luton has a large, dense rental market of terraces and converted houses, much of it on or near busy roads. That setting brings a risk landlords rarely plan for but insurers see often: a vehicle hitting the building.
Where the risks come from for Luton landlords
Terraced and street-fronting lets on busy or fast roads are exposed to impact damage, a car mounting the pavement, a delivery lorry clipping a corner, a vehicle failing to stop at a junction. The damage to a front wall, bay or boundary can be structural and sudden.
A Luton example
A car leaves the road at night and strikes the front of a Luton let, cracking the bay window and damaging the wall beneath it. The property needs shoring and rebuilding at the front, and the tenant is disrupted while the work is done. Impact damage is a standard buildings peril, so the reinstatement and the loss of rent are covered.
What landlord insurance covers
Impact by vehicles or falling objects is one of the standard perils in landlord buildings cover, alongside fire, storm, flood and escape of water. Property owners' liability and loss of rent sit with it, and the buildings sum should reflect a full rebuild of the affected structure.
