Picture this – it\u2019s 11 o\u2019clock at night, you\u2019ve just finished watching the latest film release and are heading to bed when you\u2019re startled by a phone call.

With 24\/7 365 days a year coverage, home emergency cover is there to help you out. If your tenant has an emergency, they can call the helpline and an approved contractor will be on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, imagine it\u2019s Christmas day and you\u2019re just sitting down to eat your dinner when suddenly your tenant’s boiler breaks down<\/a>. With home emergencies included, your tenant can simply ring the helpline and you won’t be disturbed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
