Managing risk and insurance for investors and operators

Rising insurance costs and restrictions in policy coverage, for both property and operational insurances have posed a consistent challenge for real estate investors, operators and suppliers for several years.

During a wide-ranging discussion covering property, professional indemnity and cyber insurance, the Aon team highlighted the importance of the Build to Rent sector working collaboratively with the insurance industry to develop a robust approach to the management of both risk and insurance.

The webinar recording below is packed full of useful guidance from top tips for managing professional indemnity renewal to the importance of reviewing building reinstatement valuations.

Aon and the UKAA will be co-hosting further webinars after the Summer, with the next two episodes addressing cyber and data risk management and employee benefits and rewards programmes.  Joining details will be released soon.

Acting for 25% of the world’s largest real estate investors, Aon’s Real Estate team provides development to disposal insurance solutions for all asset classes from residential through to logistics.  For a confidential, no obligation review of your existing insurance programme or for guidance on any aspect of insurance or risk mitigation, please contact Emma Vigus [email protected].
