Property Underwriting

You need expert underwriters to assess your client’s risk and present the most suitable cover, terms and, of course, premium. We underwrite Commercial Property with a preference for large SME to mid-corporate clients.

Our expertise enables us to do just that. Whether it is looking at a portfolio or whole account cross-class deals, we are focused on providing the property cover needed. Co-insurance on large risks is considered, where we will assess the structure and merit of underwriting on a case-by-case basis.

We underwrite risks domiciled in across Canada in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and via our London team in all other provinces and territories. Local licensing is still underway for PEI, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon.

Our Capacity

Up to CAD$20m
depending on the risk profile.

We partner best with sophisticated policyholders who treat our capacity as a true risk transfer mechanism, rather than a maintenance policy.

We offer primary or excess placements and can support lead or subscription follow positions, depending on the insured’s specifics. We can also offer package and cross-class solutions.

Property Coverage includes:

  • All risks of physical loss or damage/broad form
  • Fire and Named Perils
  • Named Catastrophe Perils (stand-alone)
  • Machinery Breakdown (offered in conjunction with property)

Our Property Appetite

Our underwriting appetite is industry agnostic – we will write office blocks through to heavy manufacturing.

Commercial Property

Whether it is SME or a FTSE 250 client, offices, retail, or hospitality, we are dedicated to consistently demonstrating our solution-based underwriting.

Industrial Property

We consider modern high-tech industries such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, through to more established industries such as metal and mineral processing.

Transport & Infrastructure Property

In an increasingly mobile and interconnected world, we welcome submissions from the onshore transportation sector, including airports and road networks.

  • Manufacturing

  • Retail
  • Distribution / Warehousing
  • Food & Beverages Production

We will consider higher hazard trades, subject to strong client risk management.
