PASC UK AND POLICY POWERHOUSE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO LOWER THE COST OF INSURANCE FOR WELL RUN HOLIDAY LET BUSINESSES

PASC UK has advised Policy Powerhouse how to recognise professional self catering businesses who have invested in compliance, safety and professionalism to become a better insurance risk and therefore deserving of lower insurance premiums.

Turning compliance into commercial benefits

Across the sector, owners have spent thousands responding to the legislative changes around fire, and compliance with health & safety for their self-catering businesses.

Fire risk assessments, linked fire alarms, emergency lighting,  electrical testing, gas safety, documented procedures, hot tub testing, business continuity plans, the list just goes on…..

Many insurers treat compliant professional operators in exactly the same way as poor-quality or unregulated accommodation yet professional operators actively reduce risk.

That means fewer claims, safer guests, better managed properties. PASC UK and Policy Powerhouse have been working to ensure insurers properly recognise that difference.

PASC have assisted Policy Powerhouse to develop this policy by:

  • Engaging directly with insurance underwriters to explain why a professionally run holiday let business is a better than normal risk
  • Providing sector data and operational evidence
  • Explaining how professional self-catering businesses actually operate
  • Highlighting the investment owners are making in compliance
  • Demonstrating the difference between compliant operators and casual entrants to the sector

This work has included ongoing discussions around:

  • Fire safety compliance
  • EV charging policies
  • Wood burner and Chimney checks
  • Risk management standards
  • Guest safety procedures
  • Evidence-led underwriting
  • Risk Management programs
