Webinar – Property insurance dealing with under insurance

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 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 actually need to take into when settling Buildings, Contents and Stock 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.

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. The presentation will be in a webinar format where delegates will be able to ask Alan questions at the end of the presentation.
