The premium is ‘deferred’
Watchman lasts for up to a year at a time but you only pay for the exact number of days cover you need. A small deposit secures cover for a fixed daily rate that accumulates and is then settled when the property is sold/transferred up to a year later.
Most other policies:
- Exclude cover for malicious damage, theft, subsidence/heave and escape of water.
- Include complicated and often onerous security requirements and may require better replacement locks.
- Have weekly inspections requirements.
- Include cancellation fees and disproportionate cancellation scales usually apply.
- May require you to use your own funds to pay the premium or enter a finance agreement.
- Cover is often not available for property unoccupied due to client in care or subject to legal capacity.
However, with Watchman:
- Cover* for malicious damage is usually included as standard, subject to post code. (*Excesses will apply)
- Enjoy simple, hassle-free security requirements by using the existing locks and security systems, and removing keys from the premises.
- Inspections occur every 30 days.
- Only pay for days on cover, and no cancellation fee.
- Deferred payment and daily price mean you only pay for exact days on cover, no premium finance means easy administration and no APR credit charges.
- Cover is available for property unoccupied due to client in care or subject to legal capacity.
