Alan has been helping property and business owners make successful building insurance claims for the last 20 years.
As a successful local property investor with a multi-million property portfolio, I am only too aware of the need to protect your assets should disaster strike and your property is damaged, and it is then necessary to make an insurance claim.
In 2002 having just fully refurbished a property and let it to a tenant, just 6 weeks later the property was destroyed by fire and while I was naturally worried, upset and devasted by the incident, no one was injured, and the property was insured so I thought all would be well again soon. Enter the world of murky insurance claims, it had never crossed my mind that the insurance claim I made would be investigated and then declined.
Home insurance is meant to protect the most valuable things we own: our properties and possessions. This insurance is made up of two parts. First is buildings cover, which pays out if a physical property is damaged, and second is contents insurance, which covers the items inside it.
Yet many massive insurance firms, including several top-ten insurers, shoot down almost half of all claims, according to the latest worrying figures from regulator the Financial Conduct Authority. (This is Money April 2025)
At this event – Learn how to protect what’s rightfully yours and how you can turn the tables on the insurers and significantly increase the chances of making a successful building insurance claim.
