Whether you have a rental portfolio or a single property to let, you’ll need more than standard house insurance cover if things go wrong.

The insurance can cover properties let to professionals, students and DSS tenants, and property owner’s liability cover is standard. Plus, if you let your property furnished, contents insurance can be added to protect your belongings.

With different risks and responsibilities, life as a property owner can be complicated. There is a wealth of information, legislation and regulation to keep on top of, plus the tasks of attracting tenants, keeping your properties in good condition, and managing rental payments.

It can be time-consuming and complex, which is why Adler Fairways is pleased to help lighten your load, by professionally and efficiently sourcing the right insurance cover for your precise needs.

We can help advise which of freeholder or landlord insurance would be suitable for you, and cover can be tailored to your precise circumstances and requirements.

    Faisal Ravat, Managing Director, E&S Motors Ltd

    "We transferred our insurance to Adler Fairways Insurance Brokers in 2023, when they offered us a much more complete and competitive premium than our current brokers. The team took the time to understand our business and future needs; we have continued to receive excellent service from them, and have been impressed with their care, and attention to detail. What is key for our business is the advice that is given when needed, and the robust claims management internally which has helped manage our premiums for a traditionally difficult to insure niche sector of the motor trade." E&S Motors

    Gerald Doble, Director, G A Doble

    "The Adler Fairways team has looked after our insurance portfolio for several years now and have provided excellent service throughout. Our annual renewal reviews are always conducted in good time ahead of renewal with all our questions answered and we are extremely impressed with the renewal proposals received. Prior to moving our business to Adler Fairways, we had not received a proper review for several years. The team were instrumental in making sure our insurance was arranged on the correct basis and have also been able to save us money on our premiums over the years. It is clear that they have our best interests at heart, both from an insurance cover and premium perspective. Whenever we have a query or need to make a change to our policies, it is dealt with efficiently and professionally. We can’t fault them on their reliability and excellent personal service".
