What's the worst that can happen?

I daresay DEA insurance is something that will be revisited here over time. Meanwhile, this is just a short post to suggest that you might want to think about just how much cover you might realistically need, in the event of a claim.

I hear through the grapevine that insurers are quietly rubbing their hands behind-the-scenes, selling cover that is disproportionate to the likely risks involved.

It's always nice to brag about having £10 million worth of cover to friends colleagues and clients, but you might want to ask what on earth could you do to trigger such a claim?

Of course, you might not have a choice if the premium is inclusive in your lodgement fees, which makes it difficult to challenge (what are your "Institute's" doing?), nevertheless, it might be worth shopping around after sitting down and asking, what's the worst that can happen?

EPC Anniversary - 3 bed homes

Friday, September, 10th, 2010 at 12:00am
Description: Energy Performance Certificates on all 3 bed homes marketed for sale in England and Wales were first introduced as a legal requirement on this day in 2007, marking the second phase of their controversial implementation. Around this period the first signs of what became known as the Credit Crunch began to take effect after a run-on UK bank, Northern Rock, saw queues of panicked savers outside local branches desperate to withdraw life savings - this would ultimately signal a major change in mortgage availability as banks restricted inter-bank borrowing.

The calendar for these events is unavailable. Probably because there are no events to report. If you have a compliant CPD event, let me know through the contact page.
