Best landlord insurance for portfolio landlords (5+ properties)
At scale, per-property one-off policies create renewal churn and gaps. Portfolio or multi-property wordings simplify adds/removes and can improve pricing.

LetCompliance is landlord software from £7.99 a month that runs the whole let (the advert, the tenancy, the rent and the tax). It records every policy against the property with its renewal date and reminds you 90, 30 and 7 days before it renews. It is not an insurer or a broker, and does not sell insurance. Get started

The insured may be a company; ensure directors and property SPVs match the legal entity on title.
FAQs
Is a portfolio policy always cheaper?
Not always, but it reduces admin and missed renewals. Compare total cost and cover limits property by property.
Can I mix residential and commercial?
Sometimes under a commercial combined policy; often separate. Disclose any shop or office element.
