Market value is not rebuild cost. Rebuild cost includes demolition, professional fees, debris removal, materials and labour—not just the price you could sell the property for.

Why refresh your figure?

Rebuild costs do not stand still

Where an average clause forms part of the policy, insurers can reduce a claim in proportion to the level of underinsurance. This can apply to partial damage as well as a total loss.

Construction prices, labour rates and professional fees can change after your original assessment. A refresh uses your existing assessment as the starting point and provides an updated figure for your committee to review.

Club’s declared value£600,000
Assessed rebuild cost£800,000
The club is underinsured by25%£200,000 below the assessed rebuild cost
Storm damage to the roof£100,000 claim
£600,000 insured÷£800,000 required=75%
Illustrative claim payment£75,000
Club may have to fund£25,000
This simplified illustration assumes the average clause is applied before any policy excess. The actual outcome depends on the policy terms, claim circumstances and insurer’s assessment.

of commercial properties assessed were underinsured

Rebuild Cost Assessment Limited’s currently published commercial-property data also reports that underinsured buildings are covered for only 67% of the amount required on average.

Common questions

Before you order

Will anyone visit the club?

No. This is a desktop assessment completed remotely using your information, mapping, aerial imagery and professional rebuilding-cost data.

Who qualifies for the £72 refresh?

The discounted refresh is exclusively for clubs that had their previous rebuild cost assessment arranged through LAP Insurance Brokers within the last three years. If another company arranged the assessment, it is more than three years old, or the premises have changed significantly, please contact LAP so we can confirm the appropriate service.

What information will we need?

Your club and contact details, information from the previous assessment, and confirmation of any extensions, alterations or other material changes to the premises.

How and when do we pay?

Payment of £72 is required before the refresh is instructed. LAP will review your order and explain the payment arrangements.

How long will the report take?

Does the report change our insurance automatically?

Is every club suitable for a desktop assessment?

Most standard club premises can be assessed remotely. Listed, unusual, highly complex or significantly altered buildings may require further information or a different assessment. We will contact you before proceeding if this applies.
