SEI and the residential environment

SEI has a broad association with Property Owners in the residential property sector, working with private investors and professional intermediaries; these working relationships have enabled SEI to develop a flexible approach to the insurance requirements of residential portfolios.

We recognize the need for the finest cover to protect both modern developments and listed historic buildings. SEI works closely with Chartered Surveyors, Managing Agents and other professionals and takes pride in our contribution to the safeguarding of our nation's heritage.

Why insure your residential property with SEI?

Whatever the nature of your residential portfolio, SEI fully understands the demands of the sector vis a vis insurance and can supply requisite service in terms of cover requirements, cost and attention to detail.

The nature of our clients extend from the privately owned London residential portfolio to portfolios of residential property throughout the UK; we also act for clients with overseas property.

SEI's further services

SEI understands the potential complexity of Property Insurance and this is a vital component of our service.

For example, in the event of damage to a listed historic building, repair can often take longer than repair to a modern building of similar size - and at a potentially greater cost. This may result from an increased involvement in the repair process by the Local Authority, and other interested bodies, following their role in the preservation of listed historic buildings. It is not uncommon for the cost of major restoration, following a partial loss to a listed historic building, to far exceed the cost of an equivalent loss in a modern structure. Accordingly, SEI will advise on the importance of accuracy with regard to the calculation of the sum insured in respect of a listed historic building.
