What is multi-property landlord insurance?
Multi-property landlord insurance allows you to cover all of your properties under one policy.
Otherwise called landlord portfolio insurance, it’s essentially the same as standard landlord insurance, but instead of one property per policy, your policy reflects your whole property portfolio.
With landlord insurance for multiple properties, you can add or remove properties throughout the year, and save time (and maybe even money) by keeping all your insurance paperwork together. Making life as a multi-property landlord that little bit simpler.

What are the benefits of multi-property insurance?
The main benefit of landlord insurance for multiple properties is having everything under one roof. This means that you have one renewal date for all your properties – saving a lot of time and hassle when renewing and making changes to your multi-property policy.
It could also be more cost effective to cover all your properties under the same insurance policy, as you may be able to access discounts on your premium the more properties you let.
Can I make changes to my policy throughout the year?
One of the main benefits of taking out landlord insurance for multi-properties is that your policy can be easily updated throughout the year to reflect your changing circumstances. All you have to do is speak to one of our expert let property consultants to easily add or remove properties from your policy - only paying for the time that the properties are on cover (pro-rata).
If you decide to let to tenants with pets, Endsleigh’s landlord insurance via NIG gives you peace of mind that you’re covered against pet damage at no extra charge. Speak to our specialist property team for a quote, mentioning that you’d like to include pet damage cover on your insurance policy.
Whether you let to tenants with pets is your decision – but it’s worth bearing in mind that the government's model tenancy agreement aims to support people with pets becoming eligible to rent. Use of the model tenancy agreement is entirely voluntary - however if you’re not currently allowing lets with pets, it could be a good time to re-think your stance.
Do I need to insure my residential and commercial properties separately?
Our landlord multiple property insurance offers cover for both commercial and residential properties, as well as properties that are both commercial and residential (such as a shop with a flat above it). This means that you can keep all of your properties covered under one roof without too much paperwork!
How do I arrange landlord insurance for multiple properties?
Arranging landlord's insurance for multiple properties is easy with Endsleigh. Simply contact our expert landlord insurance team on 0333 234 0039 or arrange for us to call you by filling out this form.
Once you’ve given us the details of your properties – things like the construction type of your properties, what types of tenants are living there and whether they have pets – we’ll approach a panel of specialist insurers to find out best price for you. Once you’ve got your quote, simply tell us when you want to go ahead and we’ll get your policy set up quickly and easily.
Can I split out my residential and commercial properties if I need to?
Yes you can, although you would need to arrange two separate policies, which could still renew on the same day. If you have any specialist or non-standard properties you need to insure (such as properties that will be unoccupied long-term or are being let as holiday homes), these may need to be covered separately as well.
