Does home insurance cover when I rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire (assuming the house completely burnt down)? If not, do I need to buy landlord’s insurance or ask the tenant to buy renter’s insurance? Where can i compare home insures? Thanks

Admiral to offer house insurance

Written by Tiffany Mitchell on August 8, 2010 – 4:29 am

One of the UK’s top car insurance providers, Admiral, is looking to expand its business by providing home insurance cover as of next year.

Admiral currently insures 6% of the cars on UK roads and, as an established name in the insurance industry, it expects that its transition into home insurance will not be one that leaves current customers with increased premium costs.

Prevention better than creativity

As the schools break up and people go on holiday, insurance company Hiscox is warning that prevention is better than creativity when it comes to foiling burglars. Home owners can be extremely inventive when thinking of places in which to hide valuables but basic home security is likely to be far more effective in the end.
