I'm a new landlord buying my first buy-to-let; what's the legal requirement for landlord insurance in the UK, what types of liability cover do I absolutely need, and which insurers offer good introductory deals for first-time investors?
Quick Answer
Landlord insurance isn't legally required but is often a mortgage condition. You need Public Liability cover for injury claims and buildings insurance for the property structure.
