Covid-19 and the introduction of national lockdowns meant that 2020 saw a dramatic increase in the number of buildings being left vacant for an extended period, with little or no warning and time to prepare and has meant that de-commissioning of the building and services were not undertaken.

FCA’s NEW GI Pricing Practices, Product Governance and Product Value Webinar
The FCA has just published the long-awaited policy statement General insurance pricing practices market study – Feedback to CP20/19 and final rules (PS21/5). The final rules address what has been described as the ‘loyalty penalty’ paid by existing general insurance product customers and aim to ensure that customers receive fair value in the insurance products they buy. The rules introduce a package of market remedies which include:- • A requirement that when a firm offers a renewal price to a customer it can be no greater than the equivalent new business price for a new customer; • Additional product governance rules that require firms to have processes in place to deliver products that offer fair value to customers with these new processes applying to all general insurance and pure protection products; • Rules to enable firms to offer accessible and easy options for customers wishing to cancel auto-renewal; • Onerous reporting requirements to support the ongoing supervision of the home and motor insurance markets. The rules relating to systems and controls and product governance (in addition to premium finance) will come into effect on 1 October 2021. The rules on pricing, auto renewal and reporting will come into effect on 1 January 2022, with a transitional provision (until 17 January) for the rules on pricing and auto renewal disclosure.
