PROPERTY OWNERS & REAL ESTATE

Mon 23rd September 2024

Trading for almost 15 years, Optis Insurances are assisting brokers across a wide range of product classes, ensuring access to unique binders which are designed for their particular market sector.

In the current climate of uncertainty about some insurers’ financial standing and security, it is comforting to know the Property Owners binder is being underwritten by Lloyds Insurance Company SA / XL Catlin Services SE (AxaXL Group) and the Real Estate scheme by Axa Insurance DAC, both of which are A-rated.

These binders provide competitive cover for a wide range of properties and occupancy risks. Our extensive range of insurance products are delivered via our easy-to-use web portal which offers end-to-end quote, referral, and bind options.

CONTACT OUR TEAM

We are an experienced team of insurance professionals who pride ourselves on working closely with broker partners to provide bespoke solutions for difficult to place and unusual risks.

Please feel free speak to your dedicated Account Handler or other members of our team who can carefully review and understand your business needs and act accordingly.
