Why Most Brokers Struggle With Lender Clauses:

And How We Make It Easy

Professional Indemnity & Personal Liability Insurance

If you’re a property developer or lender, you’ve probably hit roadblocks when trying to secure insurance policies with specific lender clauses. Words like Co-Insured, First Loss Payee, Joint Names, Non-Vitiation, and Contractors All Risks (CAR) often stop quotes in their tracks. Here’s why — and how we solve it.

The Problem

These clauses aren’t standard — and most brokers simply don’t have the market relationships or technical expertise to deliver what lenders demand. This leads to:

  • Delayed projects
  • Failed completions
  • Frustrated clients and solicitors
  • Lost revenue

Why Lenders Are Strict

Post-Grenfell and with tougher compliance regulations, lenders now insist on tight control over policy wording. If these clauses are missing, they can refuse to fund the deal.
