Insurance

We help you avoid the financial risks of being either underinsured or overinsured by providing precise, independent valuations for buildings, services, plant and equipment.

With specialist knowledge and a RICS-regulated approach, we ensure your assets are valued appropriately, supporting fair premiums, accurate coverage and peace of mind in the event of a claim.

THE RIGHT LEVEL OF INSURANCE FOR YOUR CAPITAL ASSETS

Our expert advice clarifies the differences between indemnity and reinstatement cover, helping you understand your exposure and meet policy requirements with confidence.

Avoid the pitfalls of being underinsured or overinsured

With precise asset valuations you can ensure that capital assets are adequately and correctly valued for insurance, including:

  • Buildings
  • Utilities and building services
  • Plant and equipment

Obtain the advice you need to understand the differences and implications of cover for:

  • Indemnity
  • Reinstatement

Protect Your Assets

In the event of a loss, claims may be subject to an ‘average clause,’ meaning the full reinstatement cost might not be recovered. Additionally, overinsured assets can lead to inflated premiums, impacting your operating costs. Our expert valuations help you insure your assets reflecting their true value and risk.

Asset valuations for insurance requires specialist skills to:

  • Reflect relevant clauses within your insurance policy and only include the assets where you have an insurable risk
  • Include or exclude, as appropriate, landlord and tenant building fixtures, rented assets and assets located at third party premises
  • Provide valuation figures summarised globally, by location or by building
  • Disaggregate total values by a minimum value threshold or asset type

Elsewhere we take into account additional reinstatement costs and fees, ensuring you’re fully covered.
