UK Property Buildings Insurance Tips

UK Property Buildings Insurance Tips


#113

 

You pay your buildings insurance every year.

 

But are you certain that your UK property portfolio is sufficiently, efficiently and practically insured? 

 

In fact, are you sure it’s effectively insured at all?

 

In this episode, Josh Munt and John Cox from Insurance Desk are here to talk us through the most common mistakes they see from UK property investors.

 

We cover (pun intended!) everything you need to know and some things you don’t need to know about buildings insurance for your UK property portfolio.

 

It’s not the sexiest episode, but it’s one of the most important!

 

During the episode, we discuss:

 

  • Determining Reinstatement or Rebuild Value
  • Differences between market value and rebuild value.
  • Risks of being underinsured.
  • Tips for time-poor investors when checking their policies.
  • How to save money
  • Post-Brexit changes for non-UK residents' insurance coverage
  • Role of loss adjusters in assessing claims and potential biases
  • The role of managing agents in maintaining your cover 
  • Why you should use a broker.

We typically work with time poor professionals get a good return on their money by investing with us. To schedule a call to discuss
