Commercial Property Insurance
Commercial property insurance is complex. You have to think about the way a building is used, who is insuring it and who might be in it. Which means that under and over-insurance is common. And that’s if you can even get insurance.
We tailor policies for freeholders, property managers, agents, investors, developers, residents’ associations, Right to Manage (RTM) companies and House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) landlords. So you get a policy that’s as unique as your building and your business. Even if it’s unoccupied.
What is Commercial Property Insurance?
Commercial Property Insurance or Commercial Building Insurance insures you against all the risks you face when you’re responsible for a commercial building. It protects you from fires and explosions, break-ins and accidents. Put simply, it reduces your risk as a property owner because it covers premises as well as stock and equipment. And it should be tailored to the way a building is used; whether it’s a factory or a shop, or an office block.
We’ll even insure unoccupied properties, buildings constructed of non-standard materials and properties with a high risk of flooding or subsidence.
“If you run a business from premises you own or you’re a commercial landlord, you need to protect your most valuable asset – bricks and mortar.”
