Insurance Claims At ARC we have many years working within the insurance industry and, as consultants, directly for insurers. This has led to us being experienced in understanding the processes involved in dealing with insurance reinstatements for all major perils including subsidence, fire, flood and escape of water. Contrary to popular beliefs, insurers are there to help affected homeowners with empathy, providing indemnity appropriately to the level of cover under the policy. Insurers will often utilise experienced and knowledgeable suppliers in order to reach that objective. Unfortunately, sometimes due to exceptional circumstances and/or differing opinions, further support could be required. The policyholder is often allowed to instruct an independent building surveyor to act on their behalf to provide the necessary support and oversight of the reinstatements. Under the terms of the home policy, the fees (often worded as “professional fees”) forming part of the claim. At ARC, we differ from claims assessors, who will want to involve their own suppliers which can then lead to protracted discussions and the associated unnecessary delays. We fully understand the challenges that can be faced for both the homeowner and the insurer, and in acknowledgement, we would only work alongside the insurer and their appointed suppliers, ensuring both parties are fully supported throughout the period of reinstatement. We find working with the appointed adjuster, their preferred surveyor and/or their approved panel contractor often provides the most optimum route. Subsidence can take place when the ground beneath your property’s foundation moves down, leading to the structure to move. Have you noticed tapering cracks diagonal in appearance? Have they appeared suddenly whether internally or externally? If you are unsure or suspect your property is suffering from subsidence, the cause of the damage will need to be identified and a report provided. Should subsidence be confirmed, this report can then be forwarded to your insurers for their further review, with a view to accepting a valid claim, subject to an applicable excess. The cost of the report would usually form part of the claim. Your insurers can then take the lead who will appoint various specialists (adjusters, site investigation team, mitigation team etc) who will manage the claim ensuring your property is made safe from continuous movement, along with the appropriate repairs. We have over 25 years experience dealing with properties suffering from subsidence, we therefore have the knowledge to guide you on the process.Se mer
