Agents who manage properties for landlords without a complete protection stack - referencing, insurance, rent guarantee - are exposed when things go wrong. HomeLet gives agents access to the UK's most comprehensive lettings protection suite through a single partnership.
Rent guarantee products that do not pay on valid claims destroy landlord relationships. HomeLet's rent protection is underwritten specifically for the lettings sector and properly structured to pay when a claim is valid.
Agents who reference tenants without offering insurance leave a gap in their service proposition. HomeLet provides referencing and insurance as complementary products through a single agent relationship.
Standard home insurance does not cover rental properties. HomeLet's landlord policies include up to 90 days unoccupancy cover as standard, with appropriate cover for the risks specific to renting.
Ad hoc insurance conversations without a vetted product are a missed revenue opportunity and a reputational risk. HomeLet gives agents a structured, FCA-regulated insurance suite to offer with confidence.
