B. Portwood & Co Ltd are  brokers that give advice about the policies we offer. This means that there is an obligation to ensure that a policy is recommended that meets your demands and needs. It also means that reasonable steps are taken to find out what those needs are.

This means, therefore, that although a cheap price is often a key feature in deciding the product  wanted, there may be times  the product that you have chosen is not the most suitable one for you- this would mainly be in the cover provided but may be for other reasons - e.g. for unoccupied property it could be that the insurer would impose a heavy cancellation charge. This is because a range of companies are available to us targeted at different requirements and by co-incidence a product targeted at one group comes up cheapest for another.

You can be assured, though, that  full reasons will be given for the recommendation when the written confirmation is sent and we are only too pleased to discuss matters over the phone if you need clarification of any of the information that we have provided.

Payment of the premium will be required before we go on cover as well as the return of the proposal form, duly completed and signed - again if you have any queries about the information requested please feel free to contact us.

Once we have the form and payment (which can be made over the phone by credit card (for which a small fee is made)) or debit card, your landlords property insurance will be arranged and confirmation that you are on cover sent as soon as we have had confirmation. You must not assume you are on cover purely because you have sent the generated form to us.
