The sum insured is made up of two elements being a ‘declared value’ and an ‘inflated provision’.
The key thing to focus on when obtaining a quotation for insurance is the declared value and reinstatement value. Sum insured is more arbitrary, but remains an important figure to the whole, nonetheless.
One thing to note about reinstatement value is that, over time, it moves out of sync with market level. In the event of this, an insurance re-evaluation might be worth thinking about. What’s more, the cost of this may be recoverable from the lessee. Automatically uplifting instatement values in line with inflation levels allows us to partly adjust for these kinds of changes.
The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors provide us with these crucial values each and every year on renewal. Regardless of the regularity of this, a reinstatement variation is ordinarily recommended at a period every three years.
The declared value relates to the overall cost of rebuilding premises insured as they were on the first day of an insurance period. Provided that this figure is adequate on that particular day, any claims will be totally free of average. Should the figure be inadequate, the average could find itself being applied. The result is that any valid claim payout faces being proportionately reduced by the amount a property is deemed to be under-insured.
This relates to the percentage uplift that’s designed to accommodate inflation during any insurance year, as well as the following period outlined for designing, planning, tendering and eventual reconstruction. This is regardless of however long all that might take to complete. Generally speaking, inflation provision usually equates to 30% of the building declared value, giving property owners plenty of breathing room to accommodate unpredictable inflation spikes and negate a future incidence of loved doors.
