Whether you are affected by a fire, flood, escape of water, structural damage or subsidence, these may be classed as insured risks.

They will be traumatic events which can affect your home or business, and requires a constructive and organized strategy to remedy the impact of the incident.

Most insurers appoint a loss-adjuster, and Arun Associates are used to negotiating with them, to ensure clients affected by insured events obtain the best deal. The good news is that most insurers allow professional fees as part of an insurance claim, where the damage has been substantial, and not minor. This means you, as the affected party, will not usually have to pay those professional fees, unless you wish to have improvements added in any remedial works.
