Landlord's home emergency cover
Unexpected problems at your residential rental property can be costly and disruptive. Speak to our team to add landlords’ home emergency cover to your existing landlord policy to help with urgent repairs when things go wrong.
What is landlords' home emergency cover?
Landlords’ home emergency cover is a type of insurance designed to help residential landlords when something unexpected happens in a rental property that needs urgent attention.
Whether it's a burst pipe, a broken heating system or damaged locks or windows, home emergency cover could help you arrange urgent repairs and cover some of the costs involved.
The exact cover depends on your policy and insurer, so it's worth checking what's included before you buy.
Note that this cover can't be bought online. To add this cover, get in touch with one of our friendly Customer Team by calling 0330 058 3473 or emailing hello@gosuperscript.com.
What can landlords’ home emergency cover include?
Landlords’ home emergency cover is designed to help with urgent problems that could make a residential rental property unsafe, cause further damage or leave essential services out of action.
Depending on your insurer and policy, cover could include:
- Plumbing emergencies: Help with urgent repairs to burst pipes, leaking water tanks or blocked drains
- Heating and boiler breakdowns: Help if your boiler or central heating stops working unexpectedly
- Electrical emergencies: Help with sudden electrical faults that leave your property without power
- Roof damage: Emergency repairs to help prevent further damage following certain unexpected events
- Security emergencies: Help with broken locks, damaged doors or windows that leave your property unsecured
Not every policy includes all these types of emergencies. Some may also have limits on repair costs, callouts or the age and condition of certain systems.
Our team can talk you through your options and look for suitable insurance from the insurers we work with. Get in touch with one of our friendly Customer Team by calling 0330 058 3473 or emailing hello@gosuperscript.com.
Who is home emergency cover for?
Landlords’ home emergency cover is an optional cover for residential landlord insurance. It is not a standalone cover. This means you need to buy it alongside another cover, like residential landlord insurance.
Home emergency cover can be worth considering if you rent out one or many residential properties and want help dealing with unexpected problems that need urgent repairs.
