Our verdict

  • Seniors Landlords Insurance comes with a 5% online discount. That's about as good an online offer as you'll get, similar to other providers such as Budget Direct and Domain.
  • Both flood and malicious damage by tenant are covered as standard. This is not the case with many other insurers.
  • Be sure to check if the standard policy will meet your requirements. Rent default is an optional extra so you'll have to chip in more to be covered.
