Reinstatement Cost Assessments

Our Reinstatement Cost Assessments provide you with an accurate appraisal of the cost of reinstating your commercial premises and its contents, for the purpose of acquiring commercial property insurance.

When and why you need a reinstatement cost assessment

As a commercial property owner, it’s integral that your building and its contents are accurately insured to their present-day reinstatement value, to ensure you are financially protected should the premises be damaged by flood, fire, or other event.

RICS guidelines recommend that a Reinstatement Cost Assessment be carried out every three years, but if your premises has undergone improvement works since your last assessment, you risk leaving your property under-insured if you don’t have its value reassessed.

By contrast, over-insuring your property exposes you to excessive premiums, of which you receive no commercial benefit. Instructing a Reinstatement Cost Assessment by a qualified RICS assessor, therefore, offers you the means to negotiate your commercial property insurance to a level that satisfies and safeguards your commercial interests.

Key features of our Reinstatement Cost Assessments:

• An in-person, on-site inspection from one of our in-house Reinstatement Cost Assessors, conducted in accordance with RICS best practice guidelines.

• A building schedule and schedule of contents, with reinstatement values backed-up by office-based investigations using BCIS published data and industry databases.

• A comprehensive breakdown of reinstatement costs that includes professional fees, demolition, and authority fees, to give an accurate figure for estimated losses.
