Landlord insurance in Truro
Truro is Cornwall's cathedral city, its centre rich in Georgian townhouses let as homes and flats within a tight conservation area. Repairing that elegant older stock is not a job for modern off-the-shelf materials.
Where the risks come from for Truro landlords
When a Georgian property is damaged, putting it right means matching the original, sash windows, natural slate, lime render and plaster, often under conservation-area rules that rule out cheaper modern substitutes. A policy that pays only for standard materials leaves the owner to fund the difference.
A Truro example
Storm damage wrecks original sash windows and strips slate from a Georgian Truro let. Replacing them like for like, with matching joinery and natural slate to satisfy the conservation area, costs well above a modern repair. Because the property was insured to reinstate on a like-for-like basis, the correct repair is met in full.
What landlord insurance covers
For Georgian and conservation-area property, the buildings sum and wording must allow for like-for-like reinstatement in matching materials, not modern equivalents. On that basis the standard perils, property owners' liability and loss of rent all respond properly.
