The buyer profile
Residential and mixed-use developers, regeneration partnerships, REITs, family offices and private real estate funds acquiring industrial or post-industrial sites across the UK.
Where insurance changes the deal
- Bridging the indemnity gap between vendor and buyer on contaminated sites
- Satisfying lender environmental covenants without escrow
- Capping remediation cost overruns through stop-loss structures
- Protecting against post-completion discovery of unknown conditions
- Underwriting biodiversity net gain commitments and habitat liability
Typical placements
Single-site EIL for acquisition, multi-year portfolio cover for active developers, contractor's pollution liability wrapped around remediation works, and bespoke transactional policies for complex disposals.
