Standard commercial property policies include a clause that if a building become vacant for a set amount of time coverage under the policy will no longer respond in the event of a claim. In the insurers eyes the risk associated for the property has now changed and it no longer fits the standard ‘box’ it was initially rated in. The vacancy increases the risk grade because there is no supervision on the property. Depending on the insurance company and the length of time the property will be vacant, the underwriter may agree to simply endorse the policy with a vacancy permit for a few months until the new tenant takes occupancy. If this is not the case and either the underwriter requests the building to be insured elsewhere or the length of vacancy exceeds the appetite of the standard market we are here to help.

At Bevan Insurance we specialize in insuring vacant and hard to insure commercial properties. One of our brokers will visit the building for an inspection to gather all the specific underwriting information our markets will require. Once the quote is prepared our brokers will meet with you to discuss the options on the quotations and explain the coverages available.

We work with our clients and recommend risk management actions to reduce potential claims, impress underwriters and get you the best possible products. Risk management practices for vacant buildings include:

  • Central Station Alarm System
  • All Doors and Windows are Properly Secured
  • Water Shut Off to the Building
  • Outsource the Snow Removal to a Third Party Contractor
  • Have a Property Maintenance Individual Check the Property Every 48 to 72 Hours to Ensure All is In Order

Depending on the plans for the property we work with our clients to suggest three or six month policies or an annual policy to best fit the property owners’ timelines. Our markets are flexible in providing options and are happy to work to match your needs.

Let Bevan Insurance offer you a quote that is uniquely designed for your needs.
