Typical Estate Agency Risks

Claims can involve alleged misleading particulars, valuation disputes, missed instructions, viewing incidents, property damage, client money issues, cyber fraud, confidentiality breaches, data loss, contract disputes or client financial-loss allegations.

Professional Indemnity for Property Advice

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your property advice, particulars, valuation commentary or agency administration caused financial loss. Insurers will usually want to understand your sales and lettings split, property types, fee income, client money handling, compliance controls, contract terms and previous claims history.

Viewings, Offices and Client Data

Estate agencies often combine office visitors, property viewings, digital records, landlord and vendor instructions, tenant or buyer data and payment communications. Public liability, cyber insurance and office cover can sit alongside professional indemnity where agency work depends on public-facing activity and secure systems.
