At Brian Gale Surveyors, we can prepare reinstatement valuations for all kinds of property to assist our clients in securing appropriate building insurance.
Without an accurate assessment of a building and its construction, building owners can inadvertently over-insure their property. This service provides our clients with all of the necessary financial information about their building so that they may notify their insurance providers and potentially reduce their premiums.
In the event of a claim, under-insuring a property can be an even greater expense, as most insurers will have a clause in the contract that prevents full pay-out. For example, a building which has been under-valued and under-insured by 30% will have 30% deducted from the amount of any pay-out, even if the claim is legitimate and the amount due is only a proportion of the correctly insured value of the property.
