Estate agent insurance cover in detail

What is estate agent insurance?

Estate agent insurance is a comprehensive package designed specifically for real estate professionals like you. It combines various types of insurance coverage to address the unique risks associated with your industry, ensuring that you’re protected against potential liabilities and financial losses.

Your clients put a great deal of trust in your ability to find a suitable tenant or buyer for their property and with this comes a great deal of responsibility to protect their investment. You’re responsible for high-value assets and providing your clients with valued advice so estate agents insurance should be a top priority.

Insurance covers to consider

When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

Public liability insurance

With a high footfall of clients visiting your office, public liability insurance is an essential part of your estate agents insurance. It covers you against third-party claims for injury or property damage that may arise during your business activities. For example, if a client slips and falls at your office or alleges that you’ve caused damage to a property during a viewing, this insurance will offer financial protection.

Employers' liability insurance

If you employ staff, whether full-time or part-time, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement in the UK. It provides coverage for claims made by employees who have suffered injury or illness due to their work. This insurance ensures that you can meet your legal obligations and protect both your employees and your business.

Professional indemnity insurance

Professional indemnity insurance should be considered as part of your estate agent insurance as it protects you against claims made by clients for alleged professional negligence or errors in your advice or services. This cover not only provides financial protection but also helps maintain your professional reputation in the event of a claim. If you do require professional indemnity insurance please contact us as we can arrange this over the phone.
