Investment Property Garage Insurance for UK Garage Investors

Since 2011, Quote Monkey has arranged specialist insurance for garages that are owned as investment property rather than as part of a main residence. This can include rented lock-up garages, garage blocks, standalone garages and multiple garages held for rental income or long-term investment.

Standard home insurance will not usually cover garages owned as separate investment property, especially where they are let to tenants or located away from your home address. Our garage insurance is designed for these situations.

Each policy also includes £2 million property owners’ public liability insurance, helping protect you if a third party is injured or their property is damaged because of your garage investment property.

Insurance for Rented Garage Investments

Many garage investment properties are let to local residents for private storage or parking. Our cover can be suitable where garages are rented to private individuals and used for normal private purposes.

No cover is provided if the garage is used as a business location, workshop, trade premises or commercial storage unit. If there is any uncertainty about how a tenant is using the garage, this should be checked before arranging cover.

Examples of Garage Investment Property Claims

Storm Damage – High winds lift sections of the garage roof, allowing rain to damage the structure.
Vehicle Impact – A tenant or neighbour accidentally reverses into the garage door, causing structural damage.
Theft and Break-In – Intruders force entry and damage the door, frame or wall.
Escape of Water – A burst pipe causes water damage to the garage structure.
Falling Trees – A falling branch damages the roof or wall of the garage.

Policy Ownership for Garage Investment Property

The policy should be arranged in the correct legal name of the garage owner or ownership body. This is especially important where a garage is held as an investment, owned jointly, owned through a company, or held within a pension or trust structure.

Policies can be issued in individual names, joint names, company names, charity names, trust names, management company names and recognised pension ownership structures.

Getting the policy name correct from the outset helps ensure the cover reflects the correct insurable interest if a claim is made.
