Who is Property Developers Insurance for?
Property Developers Insurance provides insurance for property developers, home builders, construction companies and contractors who are all planning to develop a property and then rent it out or on sell it once completed. It is suitable for new builds as well as those looking at renovating, adding extensions and conversions on to properties to make them better and bigger.
Why do I need it?
If you buy a property to develop it for financial gain, it is recommended that you insure the construction part of your build rather than leaving it to the contractors who may or may not have their own insurance. If it is a medium or large sized building renovations then having the right joint contracts tribunal clause makes the employer responsible for the insurance and not all for you. If you don’t have Property Developers Insurance and a problem occurs it could potentially leave you financially out of pocket and have devastating results in the case of an employer’s liability which is a breach against legal requirements. This insurance can cover you for:
- Public Liability
- Legal expenses
- Permanent and temporary works on site
- Buildings fixtures and fittings
- Loss of rental income if the letting of the property is delayed from any injury or loss
- Loss of Mortgage Interest due to the delay in selling due to an insured loss or damage

The scale and type of work can differ considerably from one project to the next and so it’s important to fully understand how to protect yourself, your staff (if appropriate) and members of the public alike. That’s why talking to an independent specialist is highly advisable, obviously that’s exactly what we do, we save our clients money, time and a lot of stress by ensuring they have the right cover for their individual needs.
