FLOODS, STORMS, RENTAL CRISIS:
THESE ARE THE HEADLINES WE ARE SEEING CONSISTENTLY EVERYWHERE OF LATE.
All experts across every space have predicted these challenges will be with us for the next 6 months and beyond. Of most concern is that unprecedented rain and floods are predicted to continue for the foreseeable future.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR PROPERTY OWNERS, LANDLORDS, AND PROPERTY MANAGERS?
Due to the continuing devastationfrom storms and floods, insurers arepaying a record number of claims,and suffering a huge backlogon claims.
Moving forward
1. Insurers have already advisedthey will be increasing rates andpremiums.
This is not a possibility – it isa given with insurers acting onthis in the coming months
2. Huge delays on insurance claimsettlements – this is alreadyhappening now
Aside from the above, the currentnational rental crisis has led anincrease in rent for all tenants.
This again will lead to a furtherincrease in premiums by insurers.
REDUCTION ON COVER FOR FLOOD ACROSS THE INSURANCE MARKET
Most insurers are already reducingcover on their policies. Floodcover is a major target which mostinsurers are already excluding, orredefining so as to avoid claims.Please ensure you read the fineprint on all policies.
