Short term retail insuranceCover built for temporary retail space, one of the commonest hold-ups

Temporary occupation asks different questions.

Flexible and meanwhile occupation raises questions a standard lease does not. Use class, rates liability, who insures what - answered early, these are the difference between opening on time and sitting empty.

We hold exclusive access to short term retail insurance built for temporary space - one of the commonest hold-ups.

What we work through.

The checks that need answering before a unit can open its doors.

  1. Cost established

    Rent, rates liability and any relief that applies, so the budget is real.

  2. Consents checked

    Use class, planning and whatever the intended trade requires.

  3. Cover arranged

    Insurance suited to short term and temporary retail occupation.

  4. Cleared to open

    Health and safety and fit-out checks completed before trading starts.

The detail that most often holds a deal up.

Each of these can stall a letting on its own. Here is how we deal with them.

We give a realistic view of total cost before you take the space on - not just rent, but rates, fit-out, consents and the rest - so the figure you plan against is the real one.

We set out the rates liability on the space and the reliefs that may apply to your particular occupation, so nothing arrives as a surprise after you have signed.

That depends on the existing use class. We establish what is already permitted and what needs consent, before you commit rather than after.

It depends how you intend to trade from the space. We identify the consents required and what is involved in obtaining them, so the opening date holds.

Fit-out and occupation checks. We handle the health and safety requirements ahead of opening so the doors are not held shut by an outstanding item.

Most policies are not written for it. We hold exclusive access to a service built specifically for temporary retail spaces.

Ask us before you commit to the space.

Send over the unit and how you intend to trade - we will tell you what it really involves.
