Estate Agents Insurance

We have many years’ experience which helps us to understand the insurance requirements of Property Professionals.

Why do I need Estate Agents Insurance?

We understand that no matter whether you are offering advice on property acquisition, property rental, or estate management, things can go wrong at any stage of the process.

This is the main reason why insurance for estate and letting agents is essential. With the home-buying process constantly changing, the changes in legislation and the introduction of home information packs there is an increased opportunity for an error to be made.
