Rentshield Direct now available via jml Insurance in the UK

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 18, 2008 – jml Insurance are pleased to announce that they have just been made introducer agents for Rentshield Direct Landlord and Tenant insurance products in the UK

With a very buoyant Buy to Let market in the UK it makes sense to offer an excellent selection of products. jml Insurance.co.uk have been offering Letsure rental insurance since 2002 and EIS the owners of Letsure have recently transferred their online insurance to another of their companies HomeLet that jml has been introducing since latter part of 2002.

Philip Suter of jml insurance.co.uk said” it makes sense to have a good choice of products for Landlords and Tenants and with Letsure no longer being available the introduction of Rentshield Direct is there for a Landlord or Tenant to choose from along with HomeLet and Endsleigh.”

The landlords household and tenants contents policies are underwritten by IGI Insurance Co Ltd and the rental income by DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company.  

A Rentshield Direct spokesperson explained that their policies are very competitive with those being offered by HomeLet and Endsleigh. A test case was carried out on line for comparison quotes for a rental property in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire. It was based on £150k rebuild value and £30k contents cover with standard construction. The research**  showed that Rentshield was cheaper than both Endsleigh and HomeLet  for Landlords insurance and for Tenant Contents insurance HomeLet was the most expensive  of the three with Rentshield Direct being more expensive than Endsleigh.

Landlords can take out cover for building and contents, Legal Protection and rent guarantee. Tenants can take out cover for their personal contents and accidental loss or damage to the Landlord’s building and contents for which they are legally responsible for as a tenant.

Rentshield Direct also offers a Tenants referencing service for letting agents in the UK
 
(**Research was carried out on the 9th April 2008 and it should be noted that differences in premium quoted can occur from property to property in different areas).
