What is Commercial Landlord Insurance?

Commercial property insurance, also known as commercial landlord insurance, is taken out by commercial landlords who let their properties for business purposes. This type of policy covers the cost of rebuilding or repairing your business premises. Horner Blakey also offer options to increase your protection to cover the cost of replacing damaged or missing stock or equipment.

Do I Need Property Insurance As A Commercial Landlord?

You are not legally obligated to take out commercial property insurance, although by taking it out you ensure you are protecting your asset.

Theft, accidental or malicious damage can happen at any time and without commercial property insurance in place, as the landlord you could be financially responsible if an event like this occurs. You could also be liable for any third-party compensation claims related to injury or property damage through negligence.

Commercial property insurance is an affordable option for many landlords, and we also offer monthly payment plans so you can manage your costs throughout the year.

Before proceeding, always read the full the details of your individual policy as terms and conditions will apply.

Do Tenants Need Commercial Property Insurance?

If you are a tenant renting a property from a landlord, you do not need commercial property insurance.
