It is a requirement for all accredited energy assessors to have professional indemnity insurance and to join a certified scheme. We have developed a professional indemnity insurance policy to meet the risks you face in this new and fast-growing professional trade.
Our policy is tailored towards professionals working in domestic and non-domestic energy assessing and home information pack (HIP) provision. It protects energy assessors and home inspectors from claims brought against you by clients because of problems with work you have done for them.
