Commercial Property Insurance
Get the cover you need – no more, no less
Insuring a commercial property is a tricky business. If you’re not careful, you run the risk of being underinsured. Or you could end up paying for cover you don’t need. To help you strike the right balance, specialist commercial property insurance brokers like Macbeth can make sure your policy gives you complete protection with no unnecessary or duplicated cover.
What is Commercial Property Insurance?
Commercial Property Insurance provides cover that’s tailored to the way a building is used, whether it’s a factory or shop, office block or residential building. You can also get cover for unoccupied properties, buildings constructed of non-standard materials and properties at high risk of flooding or subsidence.
“Whether you run a business from premises that you own or you’re a commercial landlord letting properties to different companies, you'll need a dedicated Commercial Property Insurance policy to protect your most valuable asset – bricks and mortar.”
– Catherine Smith, Commercial Property Insurance specialist at Macbeth
