Cover for Complex and High Value Risks
Not all commercial properties are the same.
We regularly assist clients requiring:
- High sums insured
- Large property portfolios
- Listed and non-standard construction buildings
- Buildings with cladding exposure
- Industrial and manufacturing occupancies
- Properties with specialist processes
- Vacant commercial premises
- Multi-tenanted buildings
- Commercial land and development sites
Our team has access to specialist insurers who understand more complex property risks and can provide bespoke underwriting solutions where standard insurers may struggle.
Why Accurate Rebuild Values Matter
One of the most common issues we encounter is underinsurance.
Many commercial buildings are insured based on outdated valuations, which can leave property owners significantly exposed following a major loss.
We encourage clients to regularly review their buildings sums insured and obtain professional rebuilding valuations where appropriate. This helps ensure claims are settled correctly and reduces the risk of underinsurance penalties.
