What it covers
Cover structured around the landlord, not the occupier.
Commercial landlord insurance is shaped around the owner’s exposures, the buildings, the rent stream, and the third-party risk that comes with hosting a business tenant.
Loss of rent
When premises become unusable after an insured event, this pays the rent the landlord would have received during the rebuild. Indemnity period of 12-36 months.
e.g. A small office let to a consultancy, out of action for 8 months after flood, rent paid through the void.
Property owners’ liability
Third-party injury or damage occurring at the let premises. Standard £1m-£5m cover, scaled by tenant type and footfall.
e.g. A visitor slips on a worn staircase in a let office; the PL element responds for the landlord.
