FAQs

Do I need professional indemnity insurance and what exactly is it?

Yes, it’s essential for protecting your business against claims of professional negligence.
Professional Indemnity (PI) insurance is a type of cover designed to protect professionals against claims made by clients for losses or damages resulting from negligent advice, services, or omissions. For Estate and Letting Agents, PI insurance is particularly important as it safeguards you against potential legal costs and compensation claims arising from errors in property valuations, misstatements, or breaches of professional duty. PI insurance ensures that you can operate with confidence, knowing you are protected if a client alleges that your actions have caused financial loss or reputational harm.

Can I get cover for multiple branches?

Absolutely. We can arrange cover for single offices or multi-branch operations.

What is tenant referencing and why is it important?

Tenant referencing, provided by HomeLet, helps you assess the suitability of prospective tenants, reducing the risk of rent arrears and property damage.
