High net worth insurance specialist, Home and Legacy, has reached an agreement with Sequence, a national network of estate agents, to provide landlord’s rent and legal protection plus legal expenses insurance.

Under the new arrangement, Home and Legacy will supply the cover for all new Sequence lettings insurance policies, in addition to the existing renewal book of around 1,000 policies.

Commenting on the partnership, Vivienne MillingtonNelson, head of strategic development, Sequence, said: “We are very excited to be entering into a strategic partnership with Home and Legacy. We have been impressed by the range of cover and quality of service that they are able to provide to our policyholders and the desire to support our plans to increase our presence within our core market.”

At Home and Legacy we are committed to expanding our product range and entering new markets whilst developing longterm relationships with our clients. This partnership is further evidence of that approach.”
