The PolicyComparison team have found that rent default is dominating Landlord policy changes, either removing or restricting their coverage. There are still some insurers providing this cover, so it’s best to always check!

Private Motor and Home insurance have seen two new Insurers and three brand new wordings enter the broker space with some new market features.

There has also been a variety of changes seen here and in Pet wordings.
