How to set the correct property sums insured

Anyone involved in or with an interest in General Insurance, whether working for an Insurer or Broker in Claims, Underwriting or with Loss Adjusters and other service providers.

It is estimated that 90% of policies have incorrect sums insured!

This presentation looks at the major issue of under insurance in the UK property market and how to help your clients avoiding the under-insurance trap. The webinar will look at what clients actually need to take into when settling Buildings, Contents and Stock sums insured.

Alan Chandler 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. One of the problems is that the figures on the client’s balance sheet are not the same as those required for insurance purposes and Alan will point out the differences so that clients can be warned.

By the end of this session, delegates will be able to:

• Understand what needs to be taken into account in respect of Buildings, Contents and Stock Sums Insured
• Understand why there is a difference between the figures for accounting purposes and the figures for insurance purposes
• Understand the effects of under insurance for clients and how to aid them in mitigate their exposure to under insurance
