Why It Matters

Understanding Rebuild Cost Assessments

A Rebuild Cost Assessment (RCA) determines how much it would cost to completely rebuild your property from the ground up - materials, labour, planning, everything. It's not tied to market value or how much your property might sell for, but to the real-world cost of reinstatement after a total loss.

This figure directly influences your insurance. If it’s too low, you're underinsured; too high, you may be paying unnecessarily large premiums. Our assessments aim to get that number right - nothing more, nothing less.

The Risk of Underinsurance (and How to Avoid It)

Underinsurance affects more properties than most realise.

Recent studies suggest that the majority of UK buildings are undervalued for insurance purposes, sometimes by over 30%. If you're underinsured and need to make a claim, insurers may only cover a portion of the cost, leaving you to bridge the gap.

Our BCIS-backed, RICS-compliant reports are designed to ensure that doesn’t happen. We remove the guesswork so you can be confident your cover reflects the rebuild reality.
