Cover from groundbreaking to handover and beyond

Real Estate & Development

Insurance and documentation for developers, investors, and owners across every stage of a property's life.

The sector

Every stage of a project carries different risks.

During construction, the main risks are physical damage to the works and injury to people on and around the site. After handover, they shift to the completed building, the people who use it, and the rental income it produces.

Lenders, investors, and buyers all want evidence that those risks are covered and that the security documents behind the financing are properly registered. We handle both.
