Here's what our customers have to say about Direct Line Landlord insurance.

Overseas Landlord Insurance

Landlord Insurance. Keeping your investments safe no matter where you are.

Whether you live abroad or in the UK, our insurance is designed specifically for landlords and buy-to-let owners with property in the UK. And so far more than 250,000 landlords have already taken the direct line.

Our Overseas Landlord Insurance provides the choice to increase limits and extend your cover. Bear in mind home insurance isn't designed for rental properties, but specialist Landlord insurance is tailored for the job.

Easy Contact

If you're an expat or overseas landlord, you can buy, renew, amend and check the details of your policy by signing into your account. You can also get in touch with us using our help page.

Flexible options to manage your policy

You may even want a family member, a friend or someone else closer to home to be able to make changes or updates to your policy. Direct Line for Business Landlord Insurance allows you to add the name of that person you'd like to handle the policy for you.

Our flexible cover also allows you to add properties to an existing policy any time, giving you one simple renewal date.
