Do right by your investment with comprehensive landlord insurance with SGUA

While owning one or several rental properties can be a lucrative venture, it also comes with its fair share of risks. Landlord insurance safeguards your property and financial interests against unexpected events that can lead to significant losses. 

 Total coverage across a range of scenarios

From natural disasters to fires, vandalism or damage caused by one of your tenants, repairs can be costly. Landlord insurance covers these repair costs, ensuring your property is restored to its original condition without a major financial setback. 

As a property owner, you could be held liable for accidents or injuries that occur on your property. If a tenant or visitor gets injured, you might face legal action. Landlord insurance also includes liability coverage, which helps cover legal fees and compensation claims, protecting you from potentially devastating financial consequences.

Whether you own a single property or an impressive portfolio of units, SGUA allows you to customise your coverage to include the specific protections you require. Our range of policies ensures you are adequately covered, regardless of your unique situation.
