Why you need Estate Agents Insurance
Running a successful estate or lettings agency isn’t easy. Your clients look to you for advice, buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords, and expect you to be an expert in your field. But for times when mistakes are made professional indemnity is there to help. No good estate or lettings agency intends to give bad advice, but the financial consequences of doing so can be devastating. Whether you win or lose, or if you’re even at fault in the first place or not, the cost of defending a claim can take its toll both financially and in terms of stress. As an agency you’ll want to maintain a certain level of professionalism, with many agencies now requiring certain levels of insurance in order to meet the standards of joining certain industry bodies. The NAEA and RICS are just two such bodies that both require Professional Indemnity insurance to become a member.

How it works
Examples of Estate Agents & Lettings Agents Insurance in action
Not just a nightmare tenant
A firm of letting agents had a seriously unhappy landlord on their book after a tenant took off without paying any rent and left their flat in a terrible state. A detailed investigation revealed that the tenant referencing process had not been completed properly, leaving the agency open to a claim against them. Thankfully, they knew that the Professional Indemnity insurance that was in place for relevant workers would cover any costs that arose from this mistake.
