With Aviva home insurance for landlords, you can protect the brick and mortar property itself, the contents or combine both under the same policy. Aviva offers unlimited contents cover, alternative accommodation for tenants and rental loss cover if your property is uninhabitable. Its policies can also be upgraded with optional extra cover for personal belongings or home emergencies, as well as cover against accidental damage to fixtures and fittings.
Aviva is the largest general insurance provider in the UK, which has a wide range of financial products including landlord, home, car, van, motorbike, travel, pet and life insurance.
While it can be traced back as far as 1696, Aviva, as we know it today, was created in 2000 when Norwich Union and CGU plc merged. Although known as CGNU after the merger, the name Aviva was rolled out a short time later in 2002.
The Aviva Group is made up of several businesses, including Aviva Insurance Services UK Ltd and Aviva UK Digital Ltd, amongst others.

Aviva offers some extra protection that you can add onto your landlord insurance policy, including:
An insurance excess is the sum you will have to pay towards a successful claim. Your insurer will not pay for a claim that will cost below this excess amount. A compulsory excess amount could vary depending on a number of factors relating to your own circumstances.
A voluntary excess is extra to your compulsory excess and is normally set by you when taking out a policy. You might be able to add or increase a voluntary excess – which could help to lower your premium.
You’ll be able to get the details about all excesses, whether compulsory or voluntary, within your policy document.
