Frequently Asked Questions
There are more risks associated with letting a property than just living in one. Do not under estimate the importance of having the right insurance for your investment.

We are able to quote for private homes and purpose built apartments which are owned by you that are let to families, couples and professionals.
AA Landlord Insurance is designed to give you with the highest level of protection; our policies provide full cover for a period of up to 45 consecutive days while the property is unoccupied, subject to you taking certain precautions.

The building insurance should be covered by the management company in an apartment.
