Underinsurance is still an issue

The prices and values of precious items change - often upwards. While there may be existing valuations, these can quickly get out-of-date so it’s important they are kept up to date and carried out by an approved valuation company.

In this short video, Fabrice looks at:

• How upward pressure on item values is causing an increase in underinsurance risks
• What simple steps you can take to minimise this risk with your clients
• How our Claims Promise makes the process quick, easy and as pain-free as possible.
