FAQs
What is landlord legal expenses insurance?
Legal expenses insurance provides cover for the costs incurred when pursuing or defending against specific legal actions.
The most common legal issues landlords face in the UK revolve around rent default and eviction, property damage and liability, regulatory and legal compliance and access and tenant relations. Proactive risk management and legal guidance are crucial for landlords to navigate these challenges effectively.
Do you offer Rent Guarantee cover?
Our landlords’ legal expenses insurance can optionally include rent guarantee cover. This ensures we provide holistic cover, further controlling costs, much the same as a commercial combined policy which covers multiple risks under a single policy. (Our rent guarantee is unfortunately not available standalone outside of a legal expenses policy.)
Do you offer commercial legal expenses insurance?
We do offer bespoke commercial legal expenses insurance which includes a range of legal services for business including a business legal healthcheck, range of smart legal contracts and more. Read more here or get in touch to see how we can assist.
Do you offer family legal expenses insurance?
We do offer bespoke family legal expenses insurance which includes a range of legal services for individuals such as wills, lasting powers of attorney and more. Get in touch to see how we can assist.
Do you offer bespoke cover?
The nature of owning a property varies depending on the type of property and in accordance with the FCA’s Consumer Duty regulations, cover should be tailored to ensure policyholders’ needs are met and that they get value from a policy beyond ‘price’.
To help brokers meet these objectives, Epoq’s legal expenses cover is tailored to cover the risks relevant to an individual, business or landlord, so policyholders don’t pay for something they might not need.
What makes Epoq’s Legal Expenses Insurance unique?
Unlike most legal expenses insurance providers and policies in the market, Epoq’s legal expenses product includes free access to high-value legal services delivered by a regulated law firm.
Our product offers a unique combination of pre-need and at-need services. This helps the broker provide clients with holistic protection that goes beyond the traditional customer experience of incept and renew, with the chance of a poor claims experience in the middle.
It meets the FCA’s Consumer Duty Regulations of identifying, monitoring, evidencing and standing behind the outcomes your clients experience, creating real value thereby justifying commissions (which are an ongoing industry concern).
Can I offer my clients LegalAde but retain my existing insurance product?
Whilst the LegalAde service is only available for Epoq Legal Expenses Insurance policyholders, we do have a range of other platforms that you can make available to your clients either on a cobranded or white labelled basis to enhance their existing cover.
