More than just an insurance policy
In addition to our real estate insurance we support you with added services and professional support.
Buildings valuation service
It’s important that your building(s) are insured for the correct amount. Our experience shows many individuals and organisations are underinsured, leaving them out of pocket when disaster strikes. Likewise others are over-insured, resulting in higher premiums than necessary.
Our in-house team of surveyors are able to provide a valuation at no extra cost1 ensuring you are accurately covered, removing these potential issues. And with commercially available valuation services costing upwards of £5002, it’s a service that saves you money.
Real estate risk management surveys and advice
Effective risk management can prevent incidents which lead to claims. Our in-house team of qualified specialists can provide various risk management services including bespoke reports to help you assess and address risks to your properties.
Real estate insurance claims
Our experience in the real estate market enables us to take a proactive approach to protecting your best interests when dealing with property owners' liability claims. We give you direct access to your personal claims handler throughout the claims process.
