Are you concerned about renting your property out to somebody who has an unusual occupation?
Have you got the right commercial insurance in place? We often find having spoke to commercial clients they don’t realise that when a tenant changes that they have to inform their insurance company. Insurance covers are very different for occupiers when it comes to commercial property. The rates may be completely different from a restaurant to a warehouse and from a coffee shop to a café. It is important that you let your insurance company know exactly who the occupier is. Commercial property has become extremely popular with pension funds and people are purchasing them more with a view to doing long term investments. Make sure you have the correct cover for your investment.
Have you considered the rebuilding costs recently?
Rebuild costs throughout the insurance industry and especially in the commercial basis have increased dramatically over the years. Especially in the last couple of years due to the increase in costs. It is so important that you have the right sum insured for your property. Every property is different. Has your property got a different construction to others? You will find that many other commercial properties are all different in their construction and therefore the cost of rebuilding them are different. It is so important that you understand the different between the difference of what the value of your property is and the rebuild cost. Many people believe that the value of it is sometimes more than the rebuild cost and this may not be the case. There are various different websites that you can use to try and ascertain what the sum insured would be but we would always recommend a surveyor who can do a proper valuation for you and work out the sum insured so it is absolutely correct. This would then need to be index linked every year to ensure you keep up with the ever increasing market.
