Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.
Chris Knott have been brilliant for my listed property - most insurers wouldn't touch it but they found me comprehensive cover at a sensible price. Grateful for their expertise.
Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.
Outstanding from start to finish. I've recommended Chris Knott to everyone I know - my parents, my sister, and even my colleagues. They never let anyone down.
The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
Landlord Insurance provides protection if you rent out a buy-to-let property, with specialised cover to protect your buildings, contents and liability. Unlike standard Home Insurance cover, Buy-To-Let Insurance can protect you from events such as loss of rent, third party injury and emergency accommodation. In general, it includes tailored buildings and contents insurance as well as landlord liability and accidental damage. Together, these provide peace of mind that you have the financial protection you need should the worst happen.
Excellent service. They could give information and services when other companies couldn’t. We have been using their services for many years for insurance of both cars and home and property

Landlord Insurance, otherwise known as Buy-To-Let Insurance, incorporates several policies to protect you as a landlord from damage to your property and loss of income. It typically includes specialised Landlord Contents Insurance and Landlord Building Insurance, but will also feature additional cover to protect you from the specific risks of being a landlord. This can include:
This insurance will help you to cover legal costs, damages and attendance at court.
It is not a legal obligation. However, not having it in place leaves you open to the risks linked to letting a property. This is because a standard Home Insurance policy is unlikely to cover a buy-to-let property. Letting a property comes with unique risks. For example, a tenant could maliciously damage your property, you could lose your rental income after a flood or fire makes your property uninhabitable, or someone could injure themselves in your property which results in a claim being made against you. Landlord Insurance can protect you against these specific risks. You may also find that mortgage lenders will not provide you with buy-to-let finance if you do not have Buildings Insurance in place.
Landlord Contents Insurance covers the contents that you have provided, such as white goods, carpets and beds. If you let your property furnished, Landlord Contents Insurance will cover these items too. If you are letting flats, it can be extended to cover communal areas, such as hallways, stairs and landings. Landlord Contents Insurance will not cover any contents owned by your tenants, so they will need to buy their own Contents Insurance to protect their belongings.
Your premium will depend on several factors, including:
