Insurance – rebuild costs

Key things to consider when insuring your commercial property: rebuild costs

We have had several new clients approach us recently and when reviewing their business’s existing levels of cover, we have identified gaps of over 50% in their commercial property rebuild cost.

Insuring your commercial property for an incorrect value or setting your limits too low results in underinsurance, which can have serious and often devastating consequences for businesses. Therefore, in the unfortunate event of a claim policies will not operate as intended, delivering less indemnity then needed following a loss. Ultimately, this could put a business’s ability to recover in jeopardy.

The latest data from RebuildCostASSESSMENT.com reveals a huge shortfall in cover among UK commercial properties, with insurance valuation providers estimating that buildings occupied by businesses in Britain are underinsured by a worrying £340 billion.
