Business insurance for property companies
Public liability insurance
Public liability insurance is designed to protect against legal and compensation costs for any accidents that your business is liable for in relation to injury or damage to the property of clients, suppliers, or members of the public.
Professional indemnity insurance
Professional indemnity insurance is designed to protect property agencies in the event of client disputes and will pay for legal and compensation costs. Common complaints include property misrepresentation, undervaluation and failure to take care of a property - all of these scenarios will be covered under this insurance. Clients often insist that you have PI insurance, so it could help you win more business.
Cyber insurance
Estate and letting agents are targets for cyber-attacks and data breaches as they hold sensitive data. Cyber insurance will cover the costs for breaching regulations (where insurable by law), your liability for handling data in accordance with the latest GDPR regulations, system rectification costs, PR expenses, and financial loss due to system downtime.
Commercial legal protection
Dealing with business and employment legislation, when you’re not a legal expert, may cost you time and money that could have been avoided. Commercial legal protection covers any legal costs, such as solicitors, barristers and expert witnesses you need – while also giving you day-to-day access to expert legal advice.
Contents and equipment insurance
Our contents and equipment cover protects your equipment, office furniture, documents and cash from damage or theft. We deal with most claims in 48 hours so you can get back to work quickly and avoid downtime.
Once you've completed a quote, you'll be able to view a summary of cover. Please always refer to your policy documents for full details around exclusions, terms and limits of your customised cover.
