There are a number of considerations often forgotten by new and experienced landlords.  Ideally, you should check that:

• You have approached your insurers to let them know that you are letting the property.   Many landlords do not know that most  polices are invalidated if the Insurance Company has nor approved the let.
• You know exactly what th policy conditions cover.  The minimum that you will need is accidental damage, public liability, level of cover, excess payments etc.
• You are aware of the nature of the policy terms and conditions.  Be sure that you are aware of the terms of the cover; failure to comply with even the most simple requirement can make a claim invalid.
