Renting out your property. A landlord’s guide

Insurance

Landlord Insurance

At MWPG, we strongly recommend all landlords obtain comprehensive landlord insurance. While we carefully screen tenants and manage properties proactively, unexpected events can still occur.

A suitable policy should cover:

Tenant-related damage
Loss of rent
Rent default
Malicious damage
Legal liability

Important Note on Insurance

Landlord insurance differs from standard owner-occupier insurance. Rental properties present different risks, and policies vary accordingly. For further details, landlords should refer to their broker or policy documentation.

Building Insurance

It is a requirement that we hold a copy of your current building insurance policy on file. Please ensure your cover is kept up to date and forward a copy of your certificate of currency to our office at your earliest convenience.

Insurance Disclaimer

“MWPG does not provide insurance advice. All property owners and tenants are responsible for obtaining their own insurance, including building, landlord, contents, or tenant cover as appropriate. We recommend seeking advice from a licensed insurance broker to ensure adequate protection“

Tax Depreciation

Tax depreciation can offer significant financial benefits to property investors. As a landlord, claiming depreciation may reduce your taxable income and enhance your overall return on investment.

At MWPG, we make it easy for you to explore these benefits.

We can arrange a complimentary Tax Depreciation Estimate Report, giving you a clear indication of the deductions you may be able to claim based on your property’s structure, fittings, and improvements.

Understanding what you’re entitled to claim is a smart step toward maximising the value of your investment.
