WHICH INSURANCE DOES YOUR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BUSINESS NEED?
Understanding the Differences
Property managers face risks from multiple sides - guest injuries, management mistakes, contract disputes, maintenance issues, tenant complaints and operational liabilities. The right policy (or combination of policies) depends on how your business operates.
What Public Liability Insurance Covers
Protects you when someone is injured or their property is damaged due to your actions as a managing agent.
- Injuries to tenants, contractors, visitors or the public
- Damage to third-party property caused by your operations
- Legal costs & compensation payouts
- Typical limits £2m / £5m / £10m
- Essential for all property managers and block agents
What Professional Indemnity (PI) Covers
Management & Professional Errors
- Negligence in property management services
- Incorrect advice to landlords or leaseholders
- Failure to manage maintenance or compliance
- Mismanagement leading to financial loss
- Breach of professional duty
What a Combined Policy Includes
A single policy that combines multiple essential covers for property management operations.
Typical Combined Package Features
- Public Liability
- Professional Indemnity
