Landlords Warned To Inform Insurers Of Home Improvements

Expert providers of landlord insurance Swinton Insurance are warning UK landlords

that they need to inform their insurer any time they make improvements to their property. Modifying a property can affect a landlord insurance policy and possibly invalidate it if an insurer is not given prior notice ahead of any proposed changes.

Chartered Insurance Broker at Swinton Commercial Insurance, Brian Greenfield F.C.I.I, says advising insurers of changes is vital if landlords want to avoid any future complications:

"The current economic climate has meant that landlords are looking to improve their properties in order to attract new tenants. With this in mind, we would strongly advise property owners keep their insurer informed of any improvements they are making, as not doing so could invalidate their insurance policy. Having the correct landlord insurance can also prevent any nasty surprises when making future claims."

This issue has become particularly prevalent in the past few years as increasing numbers of landlords look to improve their property to try and attract potential tenants. The UK buyers market is virtually non-existent at the moment, whereas the rental market is in extremely high demand as people look to rent rather than buy. This means that those with a property available to rent out could be quids in.

But those who are looking to rent wont just settle for anything. When viewing a home they expect to see contemporary measures such as energy efficient windows, composite or UPVC doors and the installation of a conservatory always goes down well.

A conservatory in Grimsby will add a huge amount of space to a property and can also help landlords get the best possible rental price. Conservatories in Grimsby are long-lasting and will therefore give a home occupier at least 20 years worth of extended living. Adding a conservatory is the equivalent of having another room in your home, one which can be used as a living or dining room or even a home office. It will even bring home and garden that bit closer together, perfect for those summer days.

Updating fixtures and fittings is also a sound investment, as is giving all walls a fresh coat of paint. A brand new sofa and armchair can liven up any living room and make sure that you dont forget to give any necessary attention to the bedrooms of the home.

You really do need to try and make your home irresistible!
