The property market has undergone significant changes in recent years and the hardening market combined with increased regulatory pressure, challenges of flammable cladding, flood exposure and the impact of Covid-19 has seen a number of insurers reducing capacity and tightening terms. However, here at NIG we’re very much open for business and ready to discuss property risks.

Our capacity, strategy and fundamental wording haven’t changed – we’re remaining consistent and are open to engaging with brokers to find appropriate solutions for their clients. With a number of property propositions, from eTrade via TheHub and Software Houses to our Regionally traded Property Owners product, which is aimed at midmarket risks and our specialist Real Estate offering which supports larger portfolio business and specialist Property Owners intermediaries. We can write a wide range of risks, including flood exposure on a portfolio basis to accommodate high risk locations, as a small proportion of an otherwise acceptable portfolio.
