Protect Your Reserves & Avoid Unexpected Shortfalls

Working alongside your policy

When a claim is made on your block of flats insurance, one of the first financial hurdles is the policy excess.

Whether it’s compulsory or voluntarily increased to reduce premiums, excesses on residential block policies can be significant, especially for risks such as:

      • Subsidence
      • Flood damage
      • High-risk locations
      • Escape of water

Excess Buy Back Protection ensures you’re not left covering these large upfront costs.

What Is Excess Buy Back Protection?

Excess Buy Back Protection is designed to reimburse the excess deducted from your main buildings insurance claim.

It works alongside your existing policy, giving you financial protection exactly when you need it most.

Big Claims, Covered

Large insurance claims can come with equally large excesses, sometimes reaching tens of thousands of pounds. Excess Buy Back Protection ensures that when a major incident occurs, such as severe water damage, flooding, or structural issues, you’re not left absorbing a significant financial hit.

Result: You can handle major claims with confidence, knowing the excess won’t impact your budget.

Cash Flow, Protected

Unexpected excess payments can disrupt carefully planned budgets, reserve funds, or service charge allocations. By reimbursing the excess after a claim, this cover helps maintain stable cash flow and avoids the need for emergency funding or sudden contributions from leaseholders.

Result: Your finances remain predictable, even when claims are not.

Unexpected Costs, Under Control

Insurance is there to protect you, but high excess levels can still leave you exposed to sudden, unplanned costs. Excess Buy Back Protection removes that uncertainty by turning a potentially large, unpredictable expense into a manageable and recoverable amount.

Result: Greater financial control, fewer surprises, and improved long-term planning.

Excess Buy Back Protection FAQ’s

What is an insurance excess?

An excess is the amount you must pay towards a claim before your insurer pays the remainder.

Does Excess Buy Back replace my buildings insurance?

No. It works alongside your existing policy and only reimburses the excess after a valid claim.

When does the policy pay out?

Once your main insurer has accepted the claim and deducted the excess, the buy back policy reimburses that amount.

Who should consider this cover?

Anyone responsible for managing or funding property insurance excesses, including landlords, freeholders, and managing agents.
