An eco-build, a damaged neighbouring wall, and why Non-Negligent Liability insurance made all the difference.

We’re committed to fully protecting all properties undergoing renovations and driven by our mission to ensure homeowners and commercial developers protect their most financially and emotionally valuable asset at the point of greatest risk.

Our newest product, Renovation Non-Neg Pro, is a specialist Non-Negligent Liability insurance designed to protect property owners from the significant costs that can arise during renovation or construction works, even when no one is at fault.  It is another example of the service we specialise in, because nobody should lose their property because they are not properly insured during a renovation project.

When Andrew and Carol Welch decided to build an eco-house next to their current home, they could not have predicted that, despite their contractor working within the agreed thresholds, significant damage would be caused to the neighbouring property. Thankfully, they had arranged Non-Negligent Liability insurance, which protected them from potentially crippling costs.

In this exclusive film, Andrew and Carol explain how thorough planning before the start of contract works protected them from eye-watering costs when their dream project took a very unexpected and unfortunate turn. Renovation Underwriting intervened on site and helped validate that they had done everything by the book. This short documentary shows how we supported them and why taking out Non-Negligent Liability insurance – like Renovation Non-Neg Pro – is vitally important when undertaking contract works.
