As we enter what is a traditionally busy time for our market leading up to year end, I am pleased to share our latest Assurant for Advisers Newsletter.
It won’t have escaped anyone’s notice that Consumer Duty is now ‘live’ and each of us have a duty of care to make sure we’re doing all we can to deliver good outcomes for our customers. This includes reviewing your customer’s Buildings & Contents (B&C) cover and the article below highlights how offering ALL your customers a B&C service can help align with Consumer Duty.
We’ve created information for you on our Household and Landlord Legal Expenses features, showing the value and importance this additional cover can add to the main policy. Further ‘key things you need to know’ around escape of water and subsidence are now also available under our newly re-worked “Adviser Support Services" page.
We are here to support you and your business wherever possible to help with reviewing your customers’ B&C cover. If there is anything we can do to help, please contact me or our Sales Support Team at any time.

Escape of water is one of the most common causes of home insurance claims in the UK; a subsidence issue can be one of the most expensive.
