Introducing the Brownhill Real Estate Division

Specialist cover for property owners, managing agents, and residential block portfolios.

At Brownhill Insurance Group, we’ve always believed in delivering expertise where it matters most. With the property sector facing rising rebuild costs, complex regulations, and increasing claims volatility, our clients told us they needed deeper, more dedicated support.

We’re proud to introduce the Brownhill Real Estate Division — a specialist team providing tailored insurance solutions for property owners, landlords, managing agents, freeholders, and residential management companies.

Led by experienced brokers, this division brings clarity, expertise, and truly personal service to one of the most important insurance sectors in the UK.

What do we do?

Our Real Estate Division specialises in the placement of insurance for both commercial and residential property portfolios, from single buy-to-lets to multi-block developments.

We also provide solutions for unoccupied properties, where insurers often apply stricter conditions and limited cover unless managed carefully.

But the scope goes far wider.

Below is an overview of the additional covers our Real Estate team can arrange to protect clients’ assets, responsibilities, and long-term financial security.

Specialist Covers We Offer

Directors & Officers Insurance (D&O)

Property management involves decision-making that carries personal responsibility.

D&O Insurance protects directors, officers, committee members, and key decision-makers from personal financial loss if legal action is taken against them for decisions made while running a business or managing a property.

This is especially important for:

  • RTM and RMC directors

  • Managing agents

  • Property company directors

  • Landlords with limited companies

Terrorism Insurance

Terrorism cover protects property owners if a building is damaged — or access is restricted — due to a terrorist incident.

Cover can include:

  • Damage to the building

  • Non-damage business interruption

  • Alternative accommodation if access is prevented due to police cordons or lockdowns

Many lenders now require terrorism insurance as part of mortgage conditions, particularly for block and commercial property.

Rebuild Cost Assessments (RCA)

Underinsurance remains one of the biggest risks for property owners.

We offer both desktop (online) and site visit Rebuild Cost Assessments through trusted partners.

Desktop RCAs:

  • Cost between £172.50–£185

  • Suitable for many residential and smaller commercial properties

Site Visit RCAs:

  • Cost varies by location, size, and complexity

  • Essential for larger blocks or buildings with unusual construction

Further resources are provided by RCA and BCH for clarity and peace of mind.

Landlords Legal & Rent Guarantee

For landlords, rent arrears and difficult evictions can create significant financial strain.

This cover provides:

  • Legal expenses support

  • Rent guarantee protection if a tenant refuses to pay

A helpful document is available for those wanting a detailed breakdown of what’s included.

Loss Recovery Insurance

In the event of a significant claim (typically over £5,000), this policy gives clients access to an independent loss assessor— not the insurer — to help prepare, negotiate, and settle claims.

They work solely on behalf of the policyholder, ensuring:

  • Faster settlement

  • Fairer outcomes

  • Reduced stress during a disruptive period

For landlords and managing agents, loss recovery support can be invaluable.

Renovation Insurance

When major works are planned, standard property insurance may not apply.

Our renovation policies cover:

  • The existing structure

  • The works being carried out

  • Liability during construction

  • Materials and equipment on site

Ideal for extensions, conversions, structural changes, or full refurbishments.
