Berkeley Alexander launches BTL insurance product
General insurance provider, Berkeley Alexander, has launched a new buy-to-let landlord product on its panel that also offers cover for unoccupied properties.
"Periods of unoccupancy goes hand in hand with buy to let property and yet finding cover that also includes cover for unoccupied periods has long been an issue for brokers."
Underwritten by Ergo Versicherung AG, part of the Munich Re Group, the new product will sit alongside Berkeley Alexander’s existing portfolio of landlord products on its quote and buy system from other insurers including Covéa, AXA, Zurich, Modus and Towergate.
Geoff Hall, Managing Director, commented: “The demand for landlords’ insurance remains high as landlords continue to increase the size of their portfolios and new landlords enter the market. Periods of unoccupancy goes hand in hand with buy to let property and yet finding cover that also includes cover for unoccupied periods has long been an issue for brokers.
"We’re delighted to be filling this gap for our intermediaries – continuing to bring them the best choice of products and some of the most competitive rates on the market.”
