BTR and Co-Living FAQs

How does Lockton’s BTR insurance support developers during the construction phase?

Lockton offers comprehensive ’Project’ insurance solutions, including Construction All Risks (CAR) coverage, tailored to the specific needs of BTR developments. This includes protection against key risks like fire, water damage, and potential delays, which can impact project timelines and budgets. We also provide expert guidance on insurance provisions within lender facility agreements, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and protected. Our bespoke enhancements to CAR policies can cover retained structures, latent defects, and potential revenue loss, giving developers peace of mind during the build phase.

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.

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.

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.
