Legal Protection
As a landlord, if your property business suffers a grievance, sometimes the only recourse is to take whoever is responsible to court.
Factors including government legislation, and the rise of no win no fee agreements have led to a litigious environment in the UK, and resolving disputes in court has become more widely accepted.
As a property owner or investor, you are vulnerable to being involved in legal disputes, whether you need to bring or defend charges.
Legal protection and optional rent guarantee will help you through the legal issues that may arise from your property business and can reimburse lost rental income.
