Why Accurate Property Assessments Matter - Commercial Insurance Valuations

 


There’s a critical challenge facing property owners and managers across Melbourne. What’s the challenge? To ensure that all their commercial assets are adequately protected through proper insurance coverage. Accurate insurance valuation is often a misunderstood and underrated service but plays a vital role in financial security.

Understanding Insurance-to-Value Ratios

The insurance-to-value (ITV) ratio represents the relationship between the actual replacement cost of your property with your insurance coverage. A misalignment of these two values may cost you some significant risks like

1.Policy penalty

Many policies include coinsurance clauses that reduce claim payments when properties are underinsured

2.Underinsurance

Leaving property owners with substantial out-of-pocket expenses after a loss

3.Threat to business continuity

Insufficient funds to rebuild or replace damaged assets
