The S-Tech Difference
We appreciate the time and effort it takes to find the right tenant(s) and the need to protect rental income for the property. However, sometimes, circumstances out of a tenant’s control, such as redundancy, may result in a rent default. It is at this point that a rent protection insurance such as landlord rent guarantee insurance can make all the difference. Because we understand this, we have created a policy that caters to a variety of events.

No sector has been affected more than the hospitality & leisure sector by the impact of Coronavirus. We spoke with Jon Preston, an expert on hospitality insurance at our sister-company Alan Boswell Group, about some of the important issues business owners should be considering.
