Howden launches PI solution for small surveying firms

Howden Insurance Brokers has launched a new professional indemnity solution for Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) regulated firms, called RiskSurv.

The new product targets smaller firms and sole traders with a fee income of under £750,000.

It is underwritten by Zurich Insurance and Barbican Syndicate 1955.

Emma Vigus, who leads the surveyors’ team at Howden, said: “We recognise that achieving a competitive professional indemnity premium is critical during challenging economic conditions and RiskSurv will always aim to deliver that; however, we also want to ensure that small surveying firms are getting access to advice from sector experts when they need it.

"We believe that in the past smaller firms have not necessarily received the focus they need from brokers and insurers, and we aim, with the support of RiskSurv, to provide that focus.”

Firms using RiskSurv will also have access to the Howden Legal Panel, which provides free advice on insurance related legal matters.
