Landlords must be vigilant warns online Insurer

Online landlord buildings and contents insurance comparison site, LandlordNet http://www.Landlord-Insurance.net is warning Landlords to be extra vigilant during the current economic crisis.
Troubled times lead to large increases in theft and tenant arrears, they warn, and landlords may be tempted to under insure in the hardening market, leaving themselves open for claims rebuttals should the worst occur.
Security issues are of particular importance at this time of year as the incidence of theft rises around the christmas holiday period. Ensure that your property is fitted with approved locks to the policy minimum standards.
Equally, landlords may have additional problems with their own tenants due to the recsession and credit crunch biting, including rent arrears and tenants leaving more frequently.
LandlordNet warns "By following a few simple tips Landlords can minimise those risks and safeguard their businesses during these difficult times. The first step is to keep a vigilant control of arrears, to flag up and keep an eye on possible rent defaulters before major non recoverable debts are occurred.
Keep up to date records of all enquiries for let properties, and act quickly if notice is given of a property falling vacant. Tenants have a lot of choice at the moment and one returned call can make all the difference.

Lifestyle Insurance Cover - the new ASU and Income Protection

There seems to be some confusion all over the Interent as to the difference between redundancy insurance and income protection - which in our opinion are largely the same ASU cover with possibly varying out of work conditions.

However both are currently being outsold by a new all inclusive Lifestyle Insurance product not tied to any particular payment plan or debt.

The new safety first product offered by British Insurance http://www.britishinsurance.com is different as it covers your complete lifestyle should anything happen to you including redundancy or unemployment. Lifestyle being you can spend the benefit to cover either or all of your Income, Mortgage Payment protection insurance, Rent, Utility Bills, Loans, Credit cards, Household bills, Other lifestyle cover. Following their award winning Mortgage payment protection insurance products success, this new lifestyle cover from British Insurance appears to be likely to be just as popular given the economic gloom.
The redundancy insurance and lifestyle insurance cover is available in the UK through various large internet outlets
