Insurance for Managing Agents and Management Companies
Managing a block of flats, a mixed-use site or a residential estate isn’t always plain sailing. Between maintenance duties, legal responsibilities and residents’ expectations, there’s a lot to organise. Insurance is one thing you can’t afford to overlook.
At Chubb Thomas, we arrange managing agent insurance and block management insurance for agents, directors and resident-run companies. Whether you’re overseeing one building or a whole portfolio, we’ll help you find cover that reflects the way you manage.
What Does Managing Agent Insurance Include?
Every management setup is different, so we tailor each policy to suit your buildings, your role and your responsibilities, whether you’re working on behalf of residents or landlords.
Your block management insurance can include:
- Buildings cover for residential and mixed-use blocks
- Property owner liability
- Employers’ liability (for cleaners, caretakers, contractors)
- Employers’ liability (for cleaners, caretakers, contractors)
- Directors’ and officers’ liability for management companies
- Communal area contents (carpets, furniture, equipment)
- Loss of rent or alternative accommodation (if letting units)
- Legal expenses and emergency call-out cover
If you’re acting as agent on behalf of a landlord or freeholder, we can also help clarify the insurance responsibilities between parties and ensure everyone’s properly covered.
Who Needs Block Management Insurance?
We arrange property management cover for a wide range of organisations and individuals, including:
- Managing agents (independent and agency-based)
- Resident Management Companies (RMCs)
- Right to Manage (RTM) companies
- Landlord-appointed agents
- Property investment companies
- Directors of leaseholder-run blocks
Whether you’re managing a few flats in a converted townhouse or multiple purpose-built developments, we’ll help make sure you’ve got the right cover in place and that your responsibilities are clearly understood.

FAQs
Do we need directors’ and officers’ liability?
If you’re involved in a management company or Right to Manage (RTM) company, we strongly recommend you consider directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. This provides cover for personal liability arising from decisions made in your capacity as a director or officer of the company.
Can you help if we're setting up a new management company?
Absolutely. Once you have set up the new management company, we will be able to guide you through what covers are available, explain the options and get the right cover in place from day one.
Can we cover multiple blocks under one policy?
Yes. If you manage several sites, we can often arrange portfolio cover to streamline your insurance and save you time.
