Rent & Legal Protection

Enjoy Peace-of-mind with our Rent & Legal Protection Service, exclusive to our managed & rent collect landlords.

Protect your investment for just £29.90* per month for landlords with our Managed and Lettings service.

RENT PROTECTION & RECOVERY

We’ll cover the costs and expenses of legal proceedings, including the cost of appeals, and also provide legal representation from one of our trusted partners. We’ll appoint a legal representative for the duration of the proceedings and support throughout the process. We’ll have your interest noted on our master insurance policy and make claims for rent arrears, payable until vacant possession is obtained, irrespective of how long the claim takes, providing cover up to £100,000 for arrears and legal expenses combined. After vacant possession has been obtained, we’ll continue to pay 75% of the rent until the property is re-let through John Shepherd Lettings for a maximum of two months. We’ll also cover the costs and expenses of recovering rent from a tenant or extenant, if the rent has been overdue for at least one month.

LEGAL EXPENSE COVER

Our Master Policy can cover the costs and expenses of legal proceedings, including the cost of appeals, and also provide legal representation from one of our trusted partners. We’ll appoint a legal representative for the duration of the proceeding and provide support throughout the process.

Standalone Legal Expense Cover

Under our Master Policy we can claim for a landlord’s legal expense cover, to evict a tenant, should the tenant breach any part of their tenancy agreement that allows grounds for possession.
