What does Aviva Signature home insurance cover for let properties?

Aviva Signature home insurance provides protection for landlords, covering everything from repair and rebuild costs to loss of rental income - helping you manage unexpected expenses with confidence. If your property's damaged due to theft, fire, flooding, or extreme weather, both you and your tenants will be affected - especially if the damage has made the property unsafe or un-secure. Aviva Signature home insurance can help you and your tenants get back to normal as quickly as possible.


When your property is let, it's more than just a house you have to worry about - it's someone else's home too.

Why buy Aviva Signature home insurance for a let property?

If you're a UK landlord and you've got tenants in your property, it's a good idea to think about insuring your property. It can definitely be useful to have in place just in case anything unexpected pops up that you need to pay for.

Insuring your property can give you peace of mind - so if the worst happens, like a fire or storm, your property and contents are covered. For an additional cost, you can add accidental damage cover to protect items like windows, baths, sinks, and toilets against unexpected accidents.

If you’ve got more than one rental property, never fear - you can cover up to three. If you’ve got more than three, take a turn here and check out our commercial home insurance through a broker.

Who is this product suitable for?

If you own a property that you’re letting out, our cover could be a great fit - even if you’re not a professional landlord. This includes situations such as letting friends or family live in a property you own, even if you're not charging rent, or if you've inherited a property and want to rent it rather than sell. Our Aviva Signature home insurance is designed for homeowners and landlords who want peace of mind without the complexity of a commercial policy.
