Property management company insurance – why is it important?
From slips, trips, and falls during a client visit, to a legal claim or laptop theft, unexpected incidents can threaten the business you’ve worked hard to build. Property management involves close contact with members of the public, clients, and often employees, so specific insurance for common risks can be a backstop, letting you focus on your clients and services.
- rated 4.7/5 based on 39K+ public liability customer reviews
- optional personal accident cover, in case an injury stops you working
- cover for your employees, plus professional indemnity, legal costs, and more
Insurance for property managers – what’s covered?
Property management insurance companies – like the brands on our panel – often start with public liability insurance for third party injuries and accidents, plus professional indemnity cover for mistakes in your work which cost others money to fix. From there, you can add employers’ liability insurance for your team, along with specific cover for your equipment, legal costs, and personal accidents.

How we work out example quotes These examples are real quotes from our online system (created 12/08/2021). They’re based on a range of factors, like employees and location. Your own quote will be based on what you tell us about your business. Prices may go up or down from day to day, so the prices you’re quoted may differ to the ones you see here.
What kind of excess should I expect?
An excess is an amount you pay towards any claim you make on your insurance. For example, if your excess is £250 and you make a claim worth £1000, your payout will be a maximum of £750.

---|---|---|
Public liability | £100 | £2500 |
Employers’ liability | No excess | No excess |
Tools | £60 | £500 |
Business and office equipment | £50 | £750 |
Professional indemnity | No excess | £2500 |
The figures above are for guidance only and any excess applying to your quote may differ. You’ll get a breakdown of the excesses for each quote when you compare with us.

Property managers insurance FAQ
Whether you’re new to buying business insurance or you’ve been trading for a while, here are the answers to some commonly asked questions about insurance for property management companies. You can also check out our business insurance FAQs.
Public liability insurance (PLi) isn’t usually required by law, but it can provide valuable cover for accidents and injuries involving your clients, their tenants, and other members of the public. Claims for these kinds of incidents can end up costing tens of thousands of pounds.
Another consideration may be a public liability contractual requirement, for example with a regulatory body you’re accredited with, or in your client’s contract. Make sure you check your obligations carefully.
Professional indemnity insurance is there to cover you if a client suffers a financial loss due to your negligence or a mistake you’ve made in your work. It can be a handy cover for property managers, as you offer a professional service and could be found at fault.
Each insurer looks at CCJs and IVAs differently – some apply stricter rules than others, but having a CCJ or IVA doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be able to buy insurance.
Yes. You may start offering additional services that require you to use different skills or carry out different tasks. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s important to give us a call on 0333 0146 683 to update your policy before you take on this new work.
If you don’t have the correct type of cover in place for the work you do, you may be unable to claim on your policy if something goes wrong.
This will depend on whether you have employers’ liability insurance in place. Public liability insurance is designed to protect your business against the consequences of legal action brought by members of the public for injuries or damage to their belongings. But when it comes to your employees causing injury or damage, this protection only activates if you also have employers’ liability insurance.
If you employ people, you’re required by law to have employers’ liability insurance.
There’s one exception here. Family businesses that aren’t incorporated as a limited company are not legally required to have employers’ liability insurance. The government defines a “family business” as one where all your employees are closely related to you (as a spouse, civil partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, step-parent, stepchild or half-sibling). So if you run an unincorporated family business and you choose not to get employers’ liability insurance, it’s important to know that your public liability insurance wouldn’t cover you against damage or injury caused by your team.
