Residential Property Insurance
The New India have specially designed a policy for Residential Property Owners to offer the widest practical range of cover under one blanket policy. It makes your life easier and gives you the peace of mind you need when you’re a busy landlord.
You’ll find the extensive cover that comes as standard provides for all the most commonplace causes of damage and is excellent value for money, while the choice of options allows you to tailor the cover to your exact requirements.
Your Building Sum Insured is automatically Index Linked as protection against inflation. You can also choose to opt for Day One Reinstatement Protection. In the event of a claim with this cover in place, we will reinstate your property up to the value of your Sum Insured, plus an uplift of 30% of that sum to cover the effects of inflation during reinstatement.
