Property Insurance for Commercial Property

Commercial Property Insurance

 

Owning a commercial property can be a huge investment, but what happens if there’s a flood or fire? This would not only mean a huge financial payout from yourself to fix the damage caused, but this disruption could also mean you no longer receive an income from your property. This is because the tenant is no longer able to run their business in these conditions, so they aren’t paying you rent.

These kinds of scenarios could happen at any time and if you’re not prepared the impact this will have on your finances could be catastrophic. Do you have the correct commercial property insurance coverage? EYIB can help you make sure you have the correct coverage in place so that if any of those things does happen to your property, your income will be protected!

What Commercial Property Insurance Covers

What’s Included?

Buildings sums insured

Malicious damage is a risk any type of landlord will have to look out for. But even events like fires and floods can happen at any time, and can cause horrendous damage to your property. You can be prepared by having building insurance in place, which will cover the cost of rebuilding and repairing the structure of your building. We can help you check you have the building insured for the correct sum, which is a common error made by property owners.

Legal expenses

If a tenant breaches their obligations and you need to forfeit their lease and evict them, they could try and sue you. Legal expenses cover you to pursue legal options and evict the tenant if needed.

Legal expenses

Loss of rent

People as well as events can be unpredictable. If a fire occurs in your commercial property, and your tenant has had to halt their business operations and can’t pay their rent whilst the building is getting repaired, loss of rent cover will make sure that you continue to have an income during difficult times.

Property owners liability

Property owners liability for landlords is also called “public liability insurance”. If one of your tenants, or someone visiting the premises becomes injured, then you could be liable and have a costly lawsuit against you. With this policy; legal fees, medical expenses and settlements from lawsuits will be covered.

Do I Need Commercial Building Insurance?

Do I Need It?

Being a landlord comes with its own set of risks, but especially so if you have a commercial property. Commercial properties often have a sea of people coming in and out, and if they suffer an injury while on your premises, you could be sued. Paying for medical bills and the cost of lawsuits can be very expensive. But with commercial landlord insurance in place, this can be the difference between your commercial property remaining profitable to you being forced to sell. Don’t take the risk and get commercial building insurance today.

Example Of Commercial Property Insurance In Action

 

Emma is a commercial landlord of a retail space and leases it to a local florist. One particularly cold winter afternoon a customer slips on some ice outside the shop’s entrance and breaks their hip. The customer sues Emma for negligence, as she’s the property owner, and she has not been fully maintaining the pathway outside the shop.

Thankfully Emma was prepared and she had property owners liability cover within her insurance policy, this covered the cost of the medical expenses and loss of earnings for the customer. If Emma hadn’t had this she would’ve had to pay thousands and potentially lost her property. But since she was insured, she is able to continue to maintain her income and protect her finances.
