What is commercial property insurance?

Commercial property insurance (sometimes referred to as commercial landlord insurance) is a specialist insurance policy designed for owners of commercial premises who let out buildings to others.

Taking out this type of insurance will cover the property against loss of damage caused by a variety of unexpected events such as fire, flooding, storms, malicious damage and more. This is known as fire and full perils.

Added extras can also be included to provide protection against buildings being damaged by accidental damage or terrorism

How much does commercial property insurance cost?

Without knowing more about the specifics of your business it is difficult to provide an accurate cost for taking out commercial property insurance. Some of the factors that will be considered include:

  • The size of your property
  • The type of construction
  • The location (including crime statistics, flood risk etc,)
  • Type of tenant

Most of the time the lease with the tenants will make them liable to pay for the insurance premium, so we are able to split premiums and produce separate certificates for separate tenants whether this is for a single property or a portfolio. Every insurance company uses different methods to calculate the premium. Thanks to the long-standing relationships we have with our insurance partners, we may be able to offer you a deal that you are unable to find anywhere else.
