The risk gap

Estate and letting agents face professional liability risks every day. Generic insurance does not cover them properly.

A client who feels they received negligent advice can make a professional indemnity claim. A tenant who alleges an agent failed in their duty can trigger a complaint. A cyber attack on your client database can cost you in legal fees, fines, and lost business before you ever get to a settlement. Off-the-shelf business insurance leaves property agents exposed. Gallagher specialises in exactly the risks that estate and letting agents face.

A client claims your valuation cost them money

Vendors and landlords who feel they received incorrect professional advice about price, condition, or tenant suitability can make claims against your agency. Professional indemnity claims in property can run to hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal costs and compensation - before any payout is agreed.

An employee misappropriates client funds

Fidelity risk is real in agencies handling significant client money. A rogue member of staff, or a payment fraud event, can expose your agency to losses that standard PI does not cover. Gallagher's Propertymark package includes fidelity cover as standard up to £250,000 - a protection most agents do not realise they are missing.

A data breach exposes your client records

Estate and letting agents hold sensitive personal data - ID documents, financial records, tenancy agreements. A cyber incident triggers GDPR notification obligations, potential ICO fines, and reputational damage. Cyber liability insurance covers the response costs, legal exposure, and business interruption that follow a breach.

Your Propertymark membership requires compliant PI

Propertymark membership carries professional indemnity insurance requirements. Not having compliant cover - or having cover that does not meet the required limits - puts your membership status at risk. Gallagher's Propertymark-aligned policy is designed to meet membership requirements from the start, with no gaps to discover later.

What Gallagher covers for property agents

Specialist insurance products designed for the risks estate and letting agents actually face.

Gallagher's property agent insurance suite covers the full range of risks your agency faces - from professional liability to cyber, from office contents to employer obligations. Each product is tailored to the property sector rather than adapted from generic commercial insurance.

PI

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Up to £1,000,000 indemnity cover on an any-one-claim basis - no restriction on the number of claims in a policy year. Covers legal costs and compensation for alleged negligent acts, errors or omissions in professional services. Complies with Propertymark membership requirements.

FI

Fidelity Cover

Fidelity cover up to £250,000 is included as standard within the Propertymark Company Advantage package. Covers losses arising from dishonest or fraudulent acts by employees - a risk specific to agencies handling client money that generic policies routinely exclude.

OI

Office Insurance

Buildings and contents cover for your agency premises. Protects against fire, theft, vandalism and accidental damage. Online quoting available for Propertymark members - straightforward cover for an often-overlooked exposure that affects every branch.

CY

Cyber Liability Insurance

Covers data breach response costs, GDPR notification obligations, business interruption from a cyber event, and third-party liability from a client data incident. Estate and letting agents are a target for cyber attacks due to the volume of sensitive personal and financial data they hold.

EL

Employers and Public Liability

Employers liability is a legal requirement for any agency with staff. Public liability covers third-party injury or property damage claims arising from your business activities. Gallagher packages both alongside your core PI to avoid coverage gaps between separate policies.

D&O

Directors and Officers Liability

Protects individual directors and senior managers against claims for alleged wrongful acts in their management role - a risk that personal assets do not protect against. Relevant for agency owners and principals who want personal liability protection beyond their company cover.

Frequently asked questions

Questions estate and letting agents ask about Gallagher insurance.

What is included in the Propertymark Company Advantage insurance package?
The package includes professional indemnity insurance up to £1,000,000 on an any-one-claim basis, fidelity cover up to £250,000 as standard, and cover for breach of duty and statutory obligations. It is designed to comply with Propertymark membership requirements. Additional products - office insurance, cyber, employers and public liability, Directors and Officers - can be added based on your agency's needs.
Does the PI policy meet Propertymark membership requirements?
Yes. Gallagher's professional indemnity policy for Propertymark members is specifically designed to comply with the requirements of Propertymark membership. Gallagher is Propertymark's official insurance broking partner - the policy is structured around what members need to maintain compliant membership status.
What does 'any one claim' basis mean for my cover?
An any-one-claim basis means your full policy limit applies to each individual claim - there is no restriction on the number of claims in a policy year. If you face two separate PI claims in the same year, each claim accesses the full limit independently. This is more protective than an aggregate basis, where multiple claims share a single overall limit.
My agency turnover is above £1.5m - can I still use Gallagher?
The standard Propertymark Company Advantage scheme has eligibility criteria including a turnover threshold. If your agency exceeds those thresholds, Gallagher has broader real estate insurance capabilities and can work with you outside the standard scheme to find appropriate coverage. Contact the Gallagher property agent team directly to discuss your specific situation.
What does fidelity cover actually protect against?
Fidelity cover protects against financial losses arising from dishonest or fraudulent acts by employees - for example, misappropriation of client money, fraudulent payments, or theft by a member of staff. For agencies handling significant landlord and tenant funds, this is a meaningful protection that standard PI policies do not include.
Do I need cyber insurance as an estate agent?
If your agency holds personal data - which all agents do - you have GDPR obligations in the event of a data breach. A cyber incident triggers notification requirements, potential ICO enforcement, and client notification costs before any third-party liability is considered. Cyber insurance covers the costs of response, remediation, and third-party claims. Given the volume of sensitive financial and personal data estate agents hold, it is a significant exposure.
Is Gallagher a Propertymark Industry Supplier?

Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Reference number: 311786).
