Home Insurance: Landlords
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring landlords to hold buildings insurance for properties owned outright.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The government has no plans to require landlords to hold buildings insurance for properties owned outright. Building owners are responsible for ensuring that buildings have appropriate buildings insurance in place.
