Webinar – Property Insurance: Dealing with Underinsurance and Premium Increases in 2022

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 cost increases. This presentation also 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, delivered by Alan Chandler one of the UK's most popular insurance presenters, will look at what clients need to take into when settling Buildings sums insured. Alan will explore why under insurance is so common, the effects of under insurance for the client and why under insurance is an increasing cause of Professional Indemnity claims against brokers.

THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT. A LINK TO THE WEBINAR WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO REGISTERED ATTENDEES PRIOR TO THE EVENT TAKING PLACE.
