Assessments
It is a sensible course of action for all buildings, whether residential
or commercial to be insured against loss or damage. Appleby Petfield
Limited can undertake an assessment of the reinstatement value of
the building for insurance purposes. If a full reinstatement valuation
is carried out, an inspection of the building fabric is made including
measurements to identify its area. An assessment is made on the basis
of the RICS/BCIS guidelines.
Assessment and Claims
Unfortunately, there are times when a building may be damaged. In such
instances remedial repairs need to be put in hand in conjunction with
the insurance company and a Loss Adjuster. Appleby Petfield are able
to liaise with Loss Adjusters and act on their behalf in identifying
the extent of work required prior to preparing a schedule of the necessary
work and negotiating this with the Loss Adjusters and insurers. Appleby
Petfield are able to arrange for competitive tenders to be obtained
for the works required and monitor those works through to completion
including financial control. Appleby Petfield can also undertake secondary
negotiations in respect of loss of rent, temporary premises and temporary
works.
