Woodgate and Clark Limited’s Post

Throwing the spotlight on underinsurance, this report in Insurance Post reveals a recent improvement but overall, high levels are persisting. The report shows the average gap between the sums insured and what is actually needed leaves significant values uninsured. At Woodgate & Clark, we find that underinsurance can be a particular issue in High Net Worth claims. Insurers and brokers work hard to convey the risks, encouraging policyholders to notify their insurance provider if there is a change to the value of their home's contents and/or the property itself, during the lifetime of the policy, not just at renewal https://lnkd.in/eNwDRu6m #highnetworth #underinsurance #property

It’s a topic very close to my heart… I’ve taken business insurance, used the calculator given by the broker and spoke to the broker fully explaining the nature of the business, the policy was underwritten at the time so clearly consideration given to build costs and business, yet there is a question of underinsurance… now that I’m putting in a claim… there should be responsibility on the broker when an index linked policy has been in situ for some time to review. There MUST be accountability for people selling policies . Not all business owners are crooks which is very much how I feel treated !
