Property insurance. Understanding why there will be 15% + rate increases in 2022

>> Event Overview

Imports of sawn wood increased by 73% during 2021, steel sections by 60%, the current inflation rate for rebuilding materials is 20.3% which is a record 40 year high. Policyholders MUST understand why this is happening and whether it will continue. This presentation will provide the answers.

Given the rebuild cost inflation is so high, the already significant worry of property under insurance in the UK is going to get worse. It is estimated that over 80% of policies have incorrect property sums insured and that is before the 2022 rebuild cost increases. This webinar looks at the major issue of under insurance in the UK property insurance market, why it is getting worse and how to help your clients avoid the under-insurance trap.

The presentation is a must for brokers, underwriters and claims staff alike.
