The Property Developers Guide to Construction Law

Why developers really need to understand how insurance works

The sixth seminar in our guide to construction law for property developers examined some general principles about insurance law and how to avoid invalidating your policy.

In particular we looked at:

  • Who is and who is not insured 
  • How building contracts typically deal with insurance - the risk - the indemnity - the obligation to insure
  • Public Liability insurance
  • Non Negligent insurance
  • Construction All Risks insurance
  • Professional indemnity insurance
  • Latent Defects insurance
  • The NHBC scheme and its equivalents
  • New insurance requirements arising out of the Building Safety Act 2022.
