BTR and Co-Living FAQs
What kind of protection is provided for operational BtR assets?
For built and operational BTR properties, Lockton provides a range of insurance solutions to manage risks such as property damage, loss of rental income, and third-party liabilities. Coverage includes Material Damage, Engineering Inspections, Cyber Liability, Professional Indemnity, and Directors & Officers Liability solutions. Our policies are designed to address the unique risks that come with managing large-scale rental properties, including cover for ancillary services like concierge, valet parking, and cleaning services, ensuring that all potential exposures are comprehensively managed.
How does Lockton help with managing claims for BtR assets?
Lockton provides a proactive and client-centric claims management service. Our dedicated team handles everything from fast-tracking low-value claims to managing complex, large losses. We leverage technology-based solutions such as water leak detection monitoring to mitigate risks before they turn into significant losses. Our focus is on ensuring a seamless claims process, with clear communication and swift settlements, allowing our clients to recover quickly and efficiently.
What are ESG-integrated insurance solutions, and how are they relevant to BtR projects?
ESG-integrated insurance solutions incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into insurance placement and risk management. For BTR projects, this can mean using climate modelling to understand long-term environmental exposures or creating non-traditional placement structures that satisfy both lender requirements and sustainability goals. Lockton’s ESG-focused approach helps BTR developers and investors protect their assets while supporting their broader sustainability and corporate responsibility objectives, ensuring resilience against evolving risks in the sector.
