FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A desktop Rebuild Cost Assessment (RCA) will cost your client £173.50 (incl VAT), which is less than our standard direct price of £193.50.
We've put together several resources to help you explain to your clients why they should insure their buildings for the right amount. Check out the resource page on our website.
As soon as you arrange your client’s RCA on their behalf online, we send them an email automatically with a link to our secure payment page.
Our prices include VAT. Because the RCA final order and payment transaction is made by your client, they will be able to recover VAT if they are VAT registered and entitled to do so.
As well as your contact details and your client’s contact details, we will need information concerning the property. As well as basic details, such as address and postcode, you can also supply the following optional and helpful information:
A policy number and renewal month
Existing sums insured/declared value
Unusual features, such as basement, mezzanine
Listed status
As soon as payment is received from the client (and therefore the order is confirmed), we will proceed with producing a Rebuild Cost Assessment report for the property.
If payment is not received within 5 working days, we will send an email reminder to your client. If payment is not subsequently received within a further 5 working days, we will advise the client we are not proceeding with their RCA and will also advise you accordingly.
Sometimes, usually because of unusual property features, we are unable to complete a desktop RCA. If this happens, we will immediately refund your client and email them confirmation of this together with our quote for a site assessment. We will copy you in should this happen.
Your client will receive a comprehensive Rebuild Cost Assessment report. You can view sample Household and Commercial Rebuild Cost Assessment reports on our website.
The Rebuild Cost Assessment report will firstly be sent to you (the broker) by email, to forward on to your client. Please note your client will receive an email from us 21 days after sending you the report requesting feedback.
